Author(s): Ashish Kumar Singh, AK Chaurasia and Bineeta M Bara
Abstract: An experiment on priming was conducted in Post Graduate Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences (SHUATS), Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh during 2017 - 2018 on wheat PBW-343. The seeds are treated with different chemicals like (PEG 20%) (KCl 1%), (CaCl2 1%), (Neem Leaf Extract 5%) and (Eucalyptus Leaf Extract 5%). The treated seeds are soaked for 12hrs for seed germination, shoot length, root length, seedling length, seedling fresh weight and dry weight, seedling vigour index I and II, where data was subjected in completely randomized design. Among the treatments (PEG 20%) (T2) recorded higher germination percent shoot length, root length, seedling length, fresh weight, dry weight, vigou index I, vigour index II.
