A randomized complete block design field study with split plot arrangements was conducted
during 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 at the Agronomic Research Station in Khanewal,
Pakistan, to evaluate if seed priming could improve grain yield and water use efficiency of
late-sown wheat under limited water supply conditions. Seeds of cultivar Inqlab-91 received
one of the following treatments: they were soaked in aerated distilled water for 12 or 24 h
(hydropriming), layered between moist gunny bags for 12 or 24 h (matriconditioning) …

A split plot design field study was conducted during summer month of 2012 and 2013 at the
vegetable block of Indian Institute of Horticultural Research in Bangalore, India to evaluate if
priming could improve grain yield and water use efficiency of cowpea under limited water
supply condition through drip system. Seeds of cultivar Arka garima received the following
priming treatments: they were soaked in GA3, Calcium Chloride, Ammonium Molybdate,
Potassium Bromide, Magnesium Nitrate, Zinc Sulphate solutions, and aerated distil water …
