EFFECT OF SEED PRIMING ON SEEDLING VIGOUR, GROWTH AND BULB YIELD IN ONION (Allium cepa L.)

B. Thejeshwini

Abstract

Seed priming with GA3 @100ppm for 6 hrs showed significant effect on enhancing germination behavior seedling characteristics, field performance as well as bulb yield of onion compared to control. Finally it could be concluded that seed priming with GA3 @100ppm for 6 hrs has showed better effect in improving all the characters studied in both the fresh and aged seed lots over the control. Followed by halo priming treatment with 3% KNO3 for 12 hrs.
