Abstract:
In order to evaluate the effect of seed priming treatments on seed quality parameters and storability parameters of field pea (
Pisum sativum L.) an experiment was conducted in the Seed Testing Laboratory of Department of Seed Science and Technology, C. S. Azad university of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during
2015-16 on pea variety KPMR-522 (Jay). The experiment was comprised of ten seed priming treatments
viz., T
0- Control, T
1- Seed priming with
Trichoderma harzianum @ 1.5%, T
2- Seed priming with Vitavax power @ 0.25% T
3- Seed priming with GA
3 @ 50 ppm, T
4-Seed priming with GA
3 @ 50ppm + seed coating with
Trichoderma harzianum@ 15g/kg seed,T
5 -Seed priming with sodium molybdate @ 500 ppm, T
6-Seed priming with sodium molybdate @ 500ppm + seed coating with
Trichoderma harzianum @ 15 g/kg seed, T
7- Seed priming with leaf extract of Lantana camara @ 10%, T
8- Seed priming with water,T
9- Seed treatment with Bavistin @ 3g/kg seed. The present investigation revealed that seed priming with sodium molybdate @ 500 ppm + seed coating with
T. harzianum @ 15g/ kg seed was significantly improved the seed quality of harvested seeds with percent improvement of 5.75 and 8.00 % in germination, 15.37 and13.73 % in shoot length, 17.03 and 16.05% in seedling dry weight, 13.06 and 17.96 % in seed vigour index-I, 24.50 and 26.90 % in vigour index-II over control during 2015-16.
