- Intervention effect Water priming increased seedling vigor versus unprimed seed.
- Intervention effect P priming increased seedling vigor versus unprimed seed.
- Intervention effect P amended priming increased seedling vigor versus unprimed seed.
- Intervention effect Priming increased fresh and dry shoot weights and shoot height.
- Intervention effect Priming increased shoot P content.
- Intervention effect Priming with 1 % P solution of KH2PO4 quadrupled seedling nutrient uptake.
- Intervention effect P priming significantly increased cob yield.
- Intervention effect P priming significantly increased straw yield.
- Intervention effect P priming enhanced grain phosphorus content versus control.
- Intervention effect SSP plus KOH priming had almost the same effect as KH2PO4 priming.
- Recommendation The authors recommend SSP plus KOH as a more effective alternative to KH2PO4.
- Recommendation KOH plus SSP was considered an easier and cheaper P source for poor farmers.
