Abstract Seed priming has proved to be an effective pre-germination seed invigoration technique for different crops to
improve seed and seedling performance under different abiotic stresses. In Bangladesh, winter rice is very often
exposed to cold waves just after sowing in the nursery bed resulting in poor seed germination and seedling emergence, yellowish and thin seedlings production, and a very low survival rate. Seed priming may mitigate the cold
stress during seed germination and seedling emergence and helps in the quality seedling production of winter rice.
To evaluate the efficacy of different seed priming techniques in… More >
