Abstract:
The study was carried out to find out the effect of halo and hormonal priming on papaya seeds. The experiment was laid down in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and was replicated thrice with nine different treatments namely T1 (sodium chloride 600 PPM for 10 hours and gibberellic acid 50 PPM for 4 hours), T2 (sodium chloride 600 PPM for 10 hours and gibberellic acid 100 PPM for 4 hours), T3 (sodium chloride 900 PPM for 10 hours and gibberellic acid 50 PPM), T4 (sodium chloride 900 PPM for 10 hours and gibberellic acid 100 PPM for 4 hours), T5 (sodium chloride 600 PPM for 10 hours and benzyl adenine 50 PPM for 4 hours), T6 (sodium chloride 600 PPM for 10 hours and benzyl adenine 100 PPM for 4 hours), T7 (sodium chloride 900 PPM for 10 hours and benzyl adenine 50 PPM for 4 hours), T8 (sodium chloride 900 PPM for 10 hours and benzyl adenine 100 PPM for 4 hours) and T9 (control: distilled water for 10 hours). Various attributes were observed for the study. From the entire experiment the results showed that priming with Sodium chloride 600 PPM for 10 hours and gibberellic acid 50 PPM for 4 hours (T1) was the best seed priming technique as it gave the maximum final germination percentage and which performed better than other treatments.
