Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect KNO3-primed and nonprimed seeds had similar germination percentage.
- Association KNO3-primed and nonprimed seeds germinated more than NaCl-primed seeds.
- Observation Hydropriming was superior in laboratory tests.
- Intervention effect Hydropriming improved seedling emergence and field establishment compared with controls and KNO3 priming.
- Intervention effect NaCl priming improved seedling emergence and establishment compared with controls and KNO3 priming.
- Intervention effect Water priming enhanced seedling emergence rate.
- Recommendation The authors recommend hydropriming as a low-cost technique for improving cowpea seed and seedling vigor.
