Standardization of Seed to Solution Ratio and Soaking Duration for Priming of Brinjal Seeds

Abstract

Studies were conducted to standardize seed to solution ratio and soaking duration for priming of brinjal seeds. The seeds were soaked in three different seed to solution ratios viz., 1:1, 1:1.5 and 1:2 both as weight by volume and volume by volume basis with the priming durations of 6 and 9h. The results revealed that seed priming with seed to solution ratio of 1:1 as volume by volume basis for 6h increased the germination by 4 per cent along with seedling quality characters.
