Abstract

An experiment was conducted in IAAS to study the effectiveness of different priming methods on germination & seedling characters of Marpha Chauda Pate variety of broadleaf mustard. The experiment was laid in CRD with 6 treatments each replicated 5 times. Treatments used were GAÈ (100 ppm), PEG (10%), NaCl (2%), Mannitol (4%), controlled, and hydro-priming. The highest germination percentage was 91.2% with GAÈ & PEG priming while the lowest germination was achieved at 77.6% from NaCl. Lower germination in NaCl might be due to the toxic effect of salinity. Hydro-priming gave the highest fresh weight. Unprimed seeds gave the highest fresh weight (0.338 gm). The highest vigor index (1032.74) was achieved with PEG. Highest R: P. ratio was recorded with hydro priming and lowest with GA3. Overall, priming with PEG (10%) gave better performance. Priming with PEG would be beneficial for germination and seedling establishment of mustard.
