Abstract: An experiment was conducted with an objective to study effect of different seed invigoration treatments such as seed hydro priming, seed hydration with 50 ppm GA3, seed hydration with 2% CaCl2, seed hydration with 2% KNO3, seed hydration with 2% ZnSO4 and seed hydration with 0.1% NaCl on male parent (AKSF-6R) for 12 hours to synchronization of parental lines of sunflower hybrid PDKVSH-952. The experiment concluded that the seed invigoration treatment can be successfully used for better synchronization of flowering in parental lines and seed yield. Seed treatment with 50 ppm GA3recorded significantly superior results over all other seed invigoration treatments in respect to less number of days to flower initiation, less number of days to 50% flowering and capitulum diameter inmale parent (AKSF-6R). Significantly superior results were recorded in yield contributing parameters like seed set percent, seed yield per plant (g), test weight (g) and seed yield per hectare (Kg) of female parent (CMS-302A) after crossing as influenced by seed invigoration treatments to male parent (AKSF-6R).
