Sorghum is being produced primarily as a food grain throughout the world. It is one of the major traditional food crops in Ethiopia. However, the productivity of the crop is very low and poor seed quality is one of the major determinants. An experiment study was conducted in laboratory and glasshouse to evaluate the effect of seed priming on seed quality parameters of three sorghum varieties:(Muyra-I, Muyra-II and Fendisha) with different storage of one year and two years using different priming agents with different soaking time for each priming agent (1.0mM KNO3, 1mM NaCl and distilled water for 72, 48 and 12 hours respectively) in 2012 at Haramaya University Seed laboratory. Completely randomized design in 2 x 3 x 4 factorial arrangement with three replications was used to carry out the germination and vigor tests. The priming concentrations and durations were based on previous work, which was effective in hydro and osmo-conditioning of sorghum seed. In the experiment, seed priming increased germination percentage (GP), Mean Germination Time (MGT) and improved seedling shoot (SSL) and root length (SRL), seedling dry weight (SDW) and seedling vigor indices in all varieties of both storage durations compared to their respective control. Priming with NaCl and KNO3 showed positive response followed by hydropriming for all varieties of different storage duration. When treated with sodium chloride, almost all the varieties of each storage year demonstrated an increase in germination and the degree of increment was higher for Muyra-I(__) and Fendisha (___), the lowest being for Muyra-II which was significantly lower for both storage year. In case of mean germination time Fendisha exhibited better with hydropriming for older seeds (___) and with KNO3 for newer seeds(___) while Muyra-II and Muyra-I showed better with KNO3 (____) for older seeds and with hydropriming for newer seeds. Responses of varieties for the remaining parameters were intermediate. Therefore, sorghum seed priming with osmo-media and water can compensate storage deterioration of sorghum seeds in addition to significantly improving the seed germination and vigor quality parameters

Experiment was conducted in the Seed Testing Laboratory during 2013 and 2014 at RARS, UAS Campus, Vijayapur, Karnataka State. The seeds were primed by soaking in different leaf extracts and chemical solution for one hour and then decanted the extracts and seeds were air dried under the shade to bring back to their original moisture content and used for seed quality studies. Seed germination was significantly influenced by age of the seeds and its interaction with botanicals and chemicals. Among the treatments, botanicals viz., Prosopis leaf extracts @ 2per cent recorded higher seed germination followed by Pongamia leaf extract @ 2per cent. Whereas, in chemicals higher germination was seen in KNO3@ 0.5 per cent but at par with CaCl2 .2H2O @ 2 per cent. Lower seed germination was obtained with water soaked and control. The present investigation indicate that, seed priming with 2.0 per cent Prosopis leaf extract for one hours soaking enhanced the seed and seedling quality characters, and hence it could be adopted as a pre-sowing seed priming treatment in pigeon pea.

The continuous rise in global population demands more food production under limited land resources accompanied by climate change. More oversupply of quality seeds to meet ever-growing food demand is a highly challenging task. Seeds with low vigour level limit the growth and yield of crops at varied field conditions. Hence, an experiment was conducted to develop a technique for the fast and homogeneous growth of kabuli chickpea seeds. The priming treatments evaluated in the present study enhanced the various seed quality parameters of kabuli chickpea significantly when compared to control. Hydro-priming for 4 hours (at 20°C) and air drying for 72 hours showed better results compared to rest of the treatments both in fresh seeds which recorded higher first count (66.38%), germination (92.50%) root length (11.85 cm), shoot length (6.16), mean seedling length (18.01), dry seedling weight (747 mg), seedling vigour index-I (1665), higher speed of emergence (0.3992) and old seeds with higher first count (61.88%), germination (74.13%) root length (8.15 cm), shoot length (5.85 cm), mean seedling length (14.00 cm), seedling dry weight (611 mg), seedling vigour index-I (1056), higher speed of emergence (0.3814). The aged seeds have recorded 29 % increase in germination percentage in contrast to 8 percent increases in fresh seeds. Kabuli chickpea seeds could be subjected to hydropriming, an affordable, alternative, and eco-friendly technique for improving seed and seedling vigour of kabuli chickpea.
