‘On-farm’ seed priming with zinc in chickpea and wheat in Pakistan (2008, methodology): “After soaking (6 h for chickpea and 10 h for wheat, based on Musa et al. 2001 and Harris et al. 2001 ), seeds were removed, drained and surface-dried in the shade to facilitate clump-free sowing.”
Seed priming winter wheat for germination, emergence, and yield (2003, methodology): “Water has also been used successfullyplace seed as deep as 20 cm below the preplanting soil as a seed priming medium for wheat (Harris et al., 2001).surface with deep-furrow drills to reach adequate water The objective of our study was to evaluate the feasibil-for germination and emergence…”
Alleviation of osmotic stress of water and salt in germination and seedling growth of triticale with seed priming treatments (2008, methodology): “In many crops pre-soaking or priming causes improvement in germination and seedling establishment (Harris et al., 2001).”
Recent progress in the ancient lentil (2006, background): “…technique of seed priming, where seed is soaked in water, usually overnight, before being surface dried and then sown, has been shown to improve plant stands, enhance early vigour and provide benefits in terms of earlier maturity, reduced disease infection and increased yield (Harris et al. 2001).”
