To evaluate the Impact of hydropriming and organic manure on seed emergance, seed vigour and grain yield of wheat (Triticum durum L.) under rainfed condition. The seed emergance, plant height, number of tillers per plant, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of seeds per spike, seed yield per plant, seed yield per ha, 1000 seed weight, seed germination percentage, root length, shoot length and seedling vigour index were found significantly due to hydropriming as well as with organic manures. Maximum plant height (101.80 cm), number of tillers per plant (13.03), spike length (11.87 cm), number of spikelets per spike (18.00), number of seeds /spike (42.85), seed yield per plant (7.60 g) and seed yield (28.85 q ha^-1) were recorded with the application of Hydropriming for 10 hours + FYM @ 10 t ha^-1+ Poultry manure @ 5 t ha^-1(H₂M₄) followed by Hydropriming for 10 hours + Poultry manure @ 5 t ha^-1+ Vermicompost @ 5 t ha^-1 (H₂M₅). However, plant height, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of seeds per spike, grain yield per plant and per ha. were recorded poor performance with the Hydropriming for 5 hours + FYM @ 10 t ha^-1 (H₁M₁).
