Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Priming at low micronutrient concentration for longer improves germination parameters of maize.
- Intervention effect Seed priming at the lowest concentration for the longest duration gives up to 50% earlier seedling emergence than control in glasshouse conditions.
- Intervention effect Priming with 0.01% Bo reduces the number of days to seedling emergence by 94% relative to control.
- Intervention effect Priming with 0.01% Bo increases fresh seedling mass by 29% relative to control.
- Intervention effect Priming with 0.01% Bo increases dry seedling mass by 47% relative to control.
- Mechanism NSP may increase shoot growth by enhancing chlorophyll content index.
- Recommendation With optimum micronutrient concentration and appropriate priming duration, NSP can improve germination and seedling growth of maize.
- Association Priming duration and concentration significantly affect germination percentage, germination rate and coefficient of velocity of germination.
- Association Priming duration and concentration significantly affect days to germination and mean germination time.
