Enhancement of seed quality through orgopriming in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)
Author(s): RK Bhavyasree and N Vinothini
Abstract: Brinjal crop production is adversely affected by its reduced germination percentage. Orgo priming of the brinjal seeds are having several positive effects on the seed quality and thereby increase the germination percentage. So an experiment was carried out to utilize several orgopriming techniques for the improvement of seed vigor and to find their efficient concentration. As orgopriming agents, varying concentrations of Panchagavya, Cow urine and Coconut water were used. The treated seeds along with control were evaluated for their seed quality parameters under laboratory condition resulted a higher germination percentage with enhanced seed quality parameters in seeds primed with coconut water followed by cow urine. The best priming treatment recorded higher seed germination, root length, shoot length, dry matter production and vigour index which were by using coconut water as compared to other treatments. This proved that the orgopriming can be an effective way to enhance the seed quality in brinjal.
