Effect of seed bio-priming on seed quality parameters of lentil under mid Himalayas

Journal of Hill Agriculture (2016)

Pankaj Kumar Deepa Khulbe Birendra Prasad P. Srinivas Rajendra Prasad

To formulate proper seed priming strategy, the response of four lentil varieties to seed bio-priming with Pant Bioagent-3 (Pseudomonas fluorescens + Trichoderma harzianum), Azotobacter sp. and Bavistin, in terms of field performance and seed quality was assessed. Seed bio-priming with Azotobacter formulation and Pant bioagent-3 significantly increased the field emergence (77.66% and 71.66% respectively), seed yield per plot. Germination and viability were improved through seed priming to 80% and 88.66% in DPL-62 with Azotobacter bio-priming. Vigour index improved to 18.8, 17.0 and 14.9 with bio-priming as compared to 10.13 in non-primed control in variety DPL-62. Significant improvement in the seed health was also observed in case of bio-primed seed. Seed discolouration reduced to the level of 12.33%, in Kali Masoor with Pant Bioagent-3 bio-priming, while least seed infection (11.66%) was in fungicide (Bavistin) seed treatment for DPL-62. Seed bio-priming improved seed health, in addition to enhancing the seed quality..

Deviation in physical and physiological seed attributes within a seed lot of soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merril.]

Journal of Hill Agriculture (2014)

Birendra Prasad Shambhoo Prasad Rajendra Prasad

Seed quality variation as influenced by seed position on the mother plant and ovule position within the pod were studied as possible with in plant components contributing to heterogeneity in quality of seeds within lots of soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merrill] cultivar PS -1092 were grown in two successive years under North-West Himalayan Agri-system. The seed quality along with subsequent seedling growth was evaluated within the plant for different stem type and pod section. The largest seed size was obtained on main stem on the mother plant where the earliest pods were formed whereas within the pod distal position had greater seed weight. Seed germination % was greatly influenced by different stem type and seed position within the pod on the mother plant and significantly higher germination % was recorded for main stem type over primary and secondary branches while seed attached at distal end within the pod had greater germination over middle and proximal location within pod. The subsequent seed and seedling vigour in terms of seedling length, fresh and dry weight of seeding, vigour index, relative growth index (RGI) and earlier germination as indicated by lower value of mean germination time (MGT) and time to 50% germination (T50) as well as electrical conductivity of seed leachates were varied in different stem type and pod section. On the basis of these parameters the seeds obtained from main stem exhibited greater vigour over primary and secondary branches respectively. However, in pod section the seed attached at distal end with in the pod exhibited greater seedling vigour than middle and proximal end of the pod section.

Seed germination behaviour as influenced by pre-sowing treatments in khirni

Journal of Hill Agriculture (2015)

Malay Samir Ratna Rai Birendra Prasad

An experiment was carried out to study the germination behaviour of khirni seeds as affected by different pre-sowing treatments. Prior to sowing in soil media, the seeds were subjected to the following eight treatments viz., seed soaking in distilled water, GA3 (100, 200 ppm), thiourea (1, 2%), potassium nitrate (1, 2%) and control (without soaking) for 36 hours. Among the different treatments, significantly high germination, germination index, peak value and germination value were recorded for seeds treated with 100 ppm GA3. Earliest emergence of seedlings was observed in the seeds soaked in 2% KNO3 whereas the mean daily germination, seed vigour and germination energy were highest for seeds soaked in 200 ppm GA3. Therefore, GA3 (100 or 200 ppm) may be recommended to be used for improving seed germination of M. hexandra.

Effect of different herbicides on growth, yield and weed flora of onion (Allium cepaL.)

Journal of Hill Agriculture (2014)

Udit Kumar Birendra Prasad Girish Chandra

A field experiment was conducted to compare various weed management practices in onion at Dholi farm, Tirhut College of Agriculture, RAU, Dholi, Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The study revealed that effective weed control was recorded under application of Oxyflurofen 23.5EC @ 2ml/L before planting and Quizalofop ethyl 5EC @ 3.5 ml/L at 30 DAT. The treatment Oxyflurofen 23.5EC @ 2ml/L before planting and one hand weeding at 40–60 DAT recorded significantly highest plant height (58.33cm) and number of leaves (9.87) than rest of the treatments. Significantly highest total bulb yield was recorded in Oxyflurofen 23.5EC @ 2ml/L before planting and Quizalofop ethyl 5EC @ 3.5 ml/L at 30 DAT followed by combined spray of Pendimethalin 30EC @ 2.5 ml/L and Quizalofop ethyl 5EC @ 1.75ml/L at the time of planting and at 30 DAT. The result indicated that significantly highest weed population (104.68/m2) was recorded in weedy check plot while Minimum weed population was recorded in the treatment with the application of Oxyflurofen 23.5EC @ 2 ml/L before planting and Quizalofop ethyl 5EC @ 3.5 ml/L at 30 DAT (46.01). The WCE varies from 80.56 to 73.88. Maximum WCE was recorded in Oxyflurofen 23.5EC @ 2ml/L before planting and Quizalofop ethyl 5EC @ 3.5 ml/L at 30 DAT (80.56). The BC ratio estimated in different weed treatment practice over weedy check indicated maximum BC ratio of 2.11 in Oxyflurofen 23.5EC @ 2 ml/L before planting and Quizalofop ethyl 5EC @ 3.5 ml/L at 30 DAT.

Shailesh Tripathi Deepak Mewar Birendra Prasad Vikas Jain

The present investigations were carried to standardize the optimum temperature for better seed germination and subsequent seedling growth of Burdock (Arctium lappa). The seeds were soaked in fresh water for 24 hours, then subjected at 16°C, 18°C, 20°C, 24°C and 26°C of different batches in the seed germinator. The results revealed that the seeds of Arctium lappa exposed to 22°C gave better responses for germination, seedling growth along with other vigor parameters in term of peak value, germination value and germinative energy as compared to temperature regime of 16°C, 18°C, 20°C, 24°C and 26°C. The significantly maximum germination (89.01%), root length (4.97 cm), shoot length (7.36 cm), peak value (4.23), germination value (17.02) and germinative energy (0.86) was observed in seeds exposed at 22°C followed by 20°C. Thereby, indicating the 22°C temperature was found optimal for getting higher seed germination and seedling vigor for Burdock (Arctium lappa).
