Abstract
The present experiment was conducted in a CRD with three replications to study the effect of different priming agents in improving the seed quality parameters of solanaceous vegetable crops like tomato, brinjal and chilli. Fresh seeds of four tomato, four brinjal and two chilli varieties were treated with GA3 (1 ppm), KNO3 (5%), Na2HPO4 (2%), PEG (10%), ZnSO4 (1%), Ascorbic Acid (50 ppm) and Deionised H2O for 24 hours and then dried to original moisture content under shade. Dried seeds were taken as control. Observations were recorded on germination/field emergence, root length, shoot length, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index-I & II in both lab and field tests.
