Abstract: The study was carried out to investigate the Influence of Different Priming Treatments on Seedling Parameters of Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) Seeds during 2017-2018 in the post-graduation experiment laboratory of Seed Science at the Department of Genetic and Plant Breeding, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. The seeds were treated with un-soaked seed (control), Hydro-priming (soaked with distilled water for 12 hrs and with Magnetized water for 7 hrs & 14 hrs), Thermopriming (300C & 400C for 30 & 15 minutes), Halopriming with CaCl2 - 2%, Ca(NO3)2 - 1%, KNO3 - 150ppm, KCl - 150ppm soaked for 12 hrs. CaCl2 - 2% primed seed recorded higher germination per cent (90.50%),energy of emergence (78.75), seedling length (18.04cm), seedling dry weight (0.56 gm/10 seedlings ), Vigour index I (1632.62) & Vigour index II (50.67). The seeds treated with CaCl2 - 2% followed by Magnetized water (7 hours) and KNO3 - 150ppm recorded numerically higher values compared to control. It was found that all the priming treatment showed significance difference over the control.
