    EFFECT OF PRIMING ON SEED QUALITY PARAMETERS AND GENOTOXICITY UNDER SALT STRESS CONDITIONS IN WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF SEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Pusarla Susmitha; Dr. Kalyanrao
    The first experiment was conducted to study the effect of priming treatments on seed quality parameters at different salt levels under laboratory conditions. The experiment was designed in factorial CRD with wheat varieties viz., Lok 1, GW 496, KRL 210 and Kharchia 65. The seeds were primed with T1: control, T2: distilled water (hydro priming), T3: GA3 (100ppm), T4: PEG 6000 (-1MPa) and T5: KNO3 (1%) and kept for germination under laboratory conditions at different salt stress concentrations viz., E1: control, E2: 4 dSm-1 , E3: 6 dSm-1 , E4: 8 dSm-1 and E5: 10 dSm1 during the years 2018-19 and 2019-20. The research results pertaining to the seed quality parameters as influenced by wheat varieties, priming treatments, salt stress levels and their interaction recorded significant variations for the years 2018-19 and 2019-20 and on pooled basis. The variety Kharchia 65 (V4) recorded significantly highest germination (95.02 %), seedling lengths (24.65 cm), seedling vigour index I (2350) and seedling vigour index II (15.09) on the basis of pooled analysis. Lok 1 variety (V1) recorded significantly lower seed quality parameters. The seeds primed with KNO3 @ 1% (T5) recorded significantly highest germination (94.89 %), seedling length (24.31 cm), seedling vigour index I (2313) and seedling vigour index II (14.96) on the basis of pooled analysis. Higher germination per cent was observed in control (E1) whereas, the germination parameters were gradually decreased with progressive increase in salt concentration. Significantly higher values for all the quality characters viz., germination (95.31 %), seedling length (24.68 cm), seedling vigour index I (2359) and seedling vigour index II (15.57) were observed at E1: control on the basis of pooled analysis.

    EFFECT OF MECHANICAL, CHEMICAL, GROWTH HORMONE AND BIOFERTILIZER TREATMENTS ON SEED QUALITY ENHANCEMENT IN ASHWAGANDHA (Withania somnifera Dunal)
    (DEPARTMENT OF SEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Sapra Narendrakumar Chandubhai; Dr. Sasidharan N.
    The present investigation on “Effect of mechanical, chemical, growth hormone and biofertilizer treatments on seed quality enhancement in Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal)” was carried out at Department of Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand during 2017-18. Two varieties were taken under considerations, viz., JA 134 and GAA 1. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD Factorial concept) with nine scarification treatments, seven growth hormone treatments and seven biofertilizer treatments, all with three repetitions.
