A laboratory experiment, “Effect of different priming methods on seed quality,biochemical changes and storability of china aster (Callistephus chinensis L. Nees)” was conducted at College of Horticulture, Dr.Y.S.R. Horticulture University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during the year 2011-12. This experiment had two factors. The experiment consisted of two different ages of the seed viz., one year old seed (S1) and Half year old seed (S2) and four treatments viz., Hydro priming (T1), Osmo priming(T2), Halo priming(T3), Unprimed as control (T4) as another factor, which was replicated four times in completely randomized design with factorial concept. Seed samples were primed and kept in polyethythelene bag and stored for six months at ambient condition. The results emanated from the experiment revealed that, among.. View More»
