- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.001 M Zn improved the seedling root of chickpea by 47.8% and 30.4% in petri plates and sand-filled pots.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.001 M Zn improved the shoot length of chickpea by 27.1% and 10.9% in petri plates and sand-filled pots.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.001 M Zn improved the number of secondary roots of chickpea by 80.0% and 28.6% in petri plates and sand-filled pots.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.001 M Zn improved the seedling dry weight of chickpea by 25.5% and 42.5% in petri plates and sand-filled pots.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.001 M Zn improved the seedling Zn concentration of chickpea by 30.3% and 47.2% in petri plates and sand-filled pots.
- Observation At all Zn seed priming concentrations tested in the first experiments, chickpea did not germinate or emerge because of Zn toxicity.
- Observation Seed priming with 0.01 M Zn or higher proved toxic to chickpea.
- Recommendation Seed priming with 0.001 M Zn in the first experiments was recommended to improve seedling germination/emergence and early seedling growth of chickpea.
- Intervention effect Zn seed priming at 0.001 and 0.0001 M improved the mean germination/emergence time and seedling growth of both chickpea types, while 0.01 M Zn caused toxicity.
