Abatement of salinity stress effect through bioseed priming in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)

Abstract:
The present research was carried out to study the effect of seed priming with bacterial suspension viz. Bacillus sonorensis KM Root 3 (MW331689) on performance of seed quality parameters viz. speed of germination, germination percentage, root length, shoot length, dry matter production and vigour index under salinity stress. Results indicated that increased salinity reduced various physiological parameters viz. germination percentage, seedling length and vigour index; seed priming with Bacillus sonorensis in its undiluted form (T2C1) was found to abate the effect of salinity stress on seed germination traits at all salinity level and performed equally good as that of control. From this study, it was concluded that if conditions arise to raise bhendi under salinity conditions, seed priming with Bacillus sonorensis could be an important technique to compete the stress and make the seeds comfortable to produce normal seedlings.
