Abstract
In order to study the effect of seed priming in different concentration of Zinc solutions on chickpea and wheat, experiments were conducted at Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar during Rabi 20022003. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block design with four replications. The seed of chickpea variety Karak-1 was primed in water, 0.05% and 0.075% Zn solutions while the seed of wheat variety Saleem-2000 was primed in 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% Zn solutions. Dry seed (non primed) was used as control treatment in both crops. A plot size of 15m by 4 m with rows distance of 30 cm was used for chickpea while a plot size of 2.5m by 3.5m with rows distance of 30 cm was used for wheat. Analysis of the data indicated that seed priming significantly affected emergence m, grain and biological yields of chickpea. Seed primed in 0.05% Zn solution resulted in the highest emergence m, grain and biological yields of chickpea. In case of wheat, seed priming significantly affected gains spike, thousand grain weight, grain yield, biological yield. Seed primed in 0.4% Zn solution resulted in higher grains spike, thousand grain weight and biological yield while seed primed in 0.1% Zn solution resulted in the maximum grain yield of wheat. It is concluded that seed priming in Zn solutions improves grain yield of chickpea and wheat.
