Seed Bio Priming for Enhancing Growth and Yield Attributes in Finger Millet Varieties (Eleusine coracana L. Garten.)

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Seeds were bio primed with Hydropriming, biopriming with Azospirillum brasilense @ 20 %, Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 20 %, Phosphobacteria @ 20 %, Trichoderma harzianum @ 1 %, beejamrutha @ 50 %, vermiwash @ 2 %, cow urine @ 25 % and waste decomposer @ 20 % for two varieties GPU-67 and HR-13. The growth parameters differed significantly between the treatments. Seed bio primed with Trichoderma harzianum @ 1 % along with HR-13 recorded highest plant height (90.00 cm) and number of tillers per plant (6.76) at harvest, respectively. The yield parameters differed significantly between the treatments. Seed bio primed with Trichoderma harzianum @ 1 % along with HR-13 recorded highest finger length (8.10 cm), number of fingers per head (8.16), ear head weight (27.82 g), test weight (6.30 g), seed yield per hectare (2896.00 kg/ha) and fodder yield per hectare (9888.88 kg/ha).
