A Review on Effects of Pre-sowing Organic Priming on Seed Germination

Abstract

Pre-sowing organic seed priming helps to improve germination and stand establishment. Its regular use for seed priming will reduce dependence on chemicals and subsequently reduce pollution caused by chemical priming. The various Pre-sowing organic priming was soaking the seeds in hot or normal water, soaking the seeds in a cow-dung paste, different cow urine concentrations, ash, etc. This article reviews the comparative effects of various organic priming methods in improving seed germination, seedling emergence, seedling vigor, seed structure, yield production, etc. The present review aims to study the effect of different priming methods on improving seedling growth of different plants.
