Effect of Different Priming Methods on Germination Behaviour of Rice in Drought Environment
Abstract: Drought is a major abiotic stress that hinders germination and seedling growth in rice. Proper priming of seeds prior to sowing has been a well-established technique to improve germination and seedling growth under drought. An experiment was conducted in Agronomy lab of Lamjung campus to study the effectiveness of different priming methods in improving germination of rice under water stress. Experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design with 10 …
