Chemical priming with urea and KNO3 enhances maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) seed viability under abiotic stress (2011, background): “One pragmatic approach to increase crop production is seed invigoration (Basra et al. 2004; Farooq et al. 2006; Lee and Kim 2000).”
Physiological and biochemical aspects of pre-sowing seed treatments in fine rice (Oryza sativa L.) (2005, background): “Seed invigoration treatments are now being practiced in many parts of the world to reduce germination time, synchronize germination, improve germination rate and produce better seedling stands (Khan 1992; Bradford et al., 1990; Lee and Kim 1999; Lee and Kim 2000).”
Enhancing the Performance of Direct Seeded Fine Rice by Seed Priming (2006, methodology): “…(Rudrapal and Nakamura, 1988; Bradford et al., 1990; Khan, 1992; Jett et al., 1996) and fi eld crops like wheat, maize (Dell Aquilla and Tritto, 1990; Chowdhary and Baset, 1994; Basra et al., 2002) and more recently rice (Lee and Kim, 1999, 2000; Basra et al., 2003, 2004; Farooq et al., 2004a).”
