Abstract: The seed samples with different levels of initial germination and seed quality parameters obtained through different duration (24, 36, 48 and 60 hours) of accelerated ageing was subjected to seed priming with different chemicals viz., 50 ppm GA3, 2% KH2PO4, 2% CaCl2 and 2% KNO3 for 10 h of duration. The seed was tested for germination, seed quality traits to study the effect of seed priming on accelerated aged seed. The seed priming significantly improved the germination and all the seed quality parameters except electrical conductivity of leachates of accelerated aged seed. The electrical conductivity of seed leachates was reduced with the priming. The improvement in initial seed quality was found to be highest with seed priming of accelerated aged seed with 2% KH2PO4 followed by 2% CaCl2.
