Effect of biopriming sorghum (Sorghum bicolour L. Moench) with Trichoderma and Psudomonas on germination, vigour, and viability

Abstract

To examine the impact of seed priming with bio fertilizers on germination rates, vigour, and viability of Sorghum seeds in RBD having four replications, as well as the impacts of bio fertilisers in three concentrations and priming durations on Sorghum seeds with bio priming treatments. T1 (control), T2 (seeds soaked in a 1% solution of Trichoderma for 14 hours), and T3 (seeds soaked in a 1% solution of Trichoderma for 18 hours) likewise T4 [seeds soaked in Trichoderma (1% solution for 24 hours), T5 [seeds soaked in Psudomonas (1% solution for 24 hours), T6 [seeds soaked in Psudomonas (1% solution for 24 hours), and T7 [seeds soaked in Psudomonas (1% solution for 24 hours)] on seed germination and vigour of Sorghum. The vigour index, seedling dry weight, germination rate, and seedling length of the Sorghum seeds were all significantly impacted by all treatments. The maximal vigour index was demonstrated by Psudomonas (1% solution for 14 hours). Sorghum that had been inoculated with these two cultures showed a significant aspect in root length, shoot length, fresh weight, and dry weight.
