Abstract
A greenhouse study was conducted to determine whether selected sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) cultivars responded differently to various seed-priming techniques. Priming techniques included osmopriming with -1.5 MPa NaCl or -1.2 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG 8000) and solid matrix priming with water and a hydrous silicate clay mineral as the solid substrate. Washed and nontreated seed were used as controls. Treated seed of cultivars Ach146, Ach177, HH42, and Tx9 was planted in a silt loam-peat soil mix artificially infested with Aphanomyces cochlioides or Pythium ultimum, or in noninfested soil (.)
