Abstract :

A study was carried out at department of seed science, technology, College of Agriculture, Raichur during Kharif- 2018-19 to study the effect of hydropriming methods on seed quality parameters in prosomillet cv. HP-4. The hydropriming methods conducted for the study were- T0- No soaking, T1- 6 h of soaking, T2 - 8 h of soaking, T3 - 10 h of soaking, T4 - 12 h of soaking, T5-14 h of soaking. The seed quality parameters differed significantly between the treatments. The seeds hydroprimed for 8 h (T2) duration recorded significantly highest seed quality parameters viz., seed germination (87.8 %), shoot length (8.54 cm), root length (7.50 cm), seedling length (16.04 cm), seedling dry weight (420 mg), speed of germination (35), seedling vigour index I, II (1408, 36876), lowest electrical conductivity (0.010 dsm-1) compared to other treatments.
