Abstract:
The laboratory experiment was conducted during 2020-21 with 15 treatments and 4 replications planned with CRD design. Seeds of chia were collected from University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangaluru. Results revealed that, among the different priming treatments, T5 (GA3 @ 100 ppm) recorded highest seed germination percentage (92.00%), speed of germination (34.85), root length (5.80 cm), shoot length (6.87 cm), seedling length (12.67 cm), seedling dry weight (12.20 mg), seedling vigour index I (1077), seedling vigour index II (1100) and lowest electrical conductivity (0.612 dSm-1). While significantly lowest seed quality parameters (81.00%, 25.86, 4.11, 5.13, 9.24, 9.60, 748 and 778 respectively) and highest electrical conductivity (0.783dSm-1) was recorded in control (T1).
