To achieve high seed vigour, seed priming can be utilized in definite manner in which three organic compounds viz. Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), Salicylic acid (SA) and Nicotinic acid (NA) in diverse concentrations and treatment durations were applied for present analysis on Oat crop. In assessment of physiological performances of seed, the various parameters linked to seed germination, seedling quality and germination allied enzymes that showed evident disparity among dissimilar priming.

In today's context of shrinking arable land and exploding human population, productivity of any commercial crop plays a major role. Though India is the largest producer of okra in the world, its productivity (11.9 MT/ha) is too low when compared to other countries. Several factors contribute towards high productivity viz. seed quality, management practices, fertiliser use, temperature, rainfall etc. but good quality seed is of prime importance. Only good quality seed can achieve true genetic potential of an improved cultivar.

An investigation was carried out using ‘Luit’ variety of paddy (Oryza sativa L. indica) seeds to see the effects pre sowing seed treatment using different bioagents viz local commercial bio-formulations Org-Trichojal, Org-Metajal, OrgBeauverijal, three different commercial cold adaptive microbial consortiums and also priming with Zinc oxide nano-particle in order to improve field performance.

Chickpea seeds of two varieties magnetoprimed with 100 mT 1h static magnetic field were subjected to salinity stress (80 mM NaCl) from germination to maturity. Physiological traits such as total root length, surface area, volume of the roots, plant height, leaf area and dry weight were significantly improved in plants from magnetoprimed seeds of both the varieties. Total chlorophyll content enhanced significantly under priming in leaves of Pusa 1053 compared to Pusa 256 under all treatments.

Seed priming with plant extracts and chemicals has been used as an important growth enhancement tool in crop plants; however, the mechanisms of their action are not fully explored. In this research, an attempt was made to understand the mechanism of various seed priming treatments in greenhouse-grown wheat.
