Seed Priming with Selenium (Bulk and/ Nano) in Agriculture: Stress Resilience Prospective

Abstract

“Seed priming” is a pre-sowing strategy which modulate metabolic activities before radicle emergence by partial hydration of seeds (Rouhi et al. 2011) in materials use for priming followed by drying of seeds (Eskandari and Kazemi 2011). Rapid germination, boosting plant growth, raising the efficiency of nutrients and water usage, suppression of weeds (Raj and Raj 2019) and overall elevation of the seed performance are key accelerations due to seed priming. Seed priming guarantee the uniformity and better establishment which make ease of management practices of crop, ensure yield in diverse climatic conditions help to prevail dormancy (Choud hary et al. 2008; Agawane and Parhe 2015; Nawaz et al. 2013).
