Abstract:
Seed priming is a cutting-edge technique for increasing germination by hydrating seeds without utilising actual germination seeds. Priming was studied in two tomato varieties, Kashi Vishesh and Arka Vikas, in the postgraduate laboratory of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh in 2021. With two kinds, nine treatments, and four replications, the experiment is set up in a completely randomised design (CRD) way. Tomato seeds are treated with several amounts of Panchagavya and halopriming treatments to determine the best priming treatment. The seeds are soaked for 12 hours in T0- Control, T1- NaCl 1%, T2- NaCl 2%, T3- NaCl 3%, T4- KNO3 1%, T5- KNO3 2%, T6- KNO3 3%, T7- Panchagavya 6%, T8- Panchagavya 10% for the measurement of germination percentage, root length, shoot length, seedling length, fresh weight of seedling, dry weight The study was carried out using the top paper approach. In comparison to the control, Panchagavya 10% delivers a better outcome in total observations, followed by KNO3 2%. It was found that all priming treatments showed variance with the control.
