Abstract
To standardize the priming method specific to tomato, the experiment was conducted during
the Rabi season in 2020 at Sam Higgim bottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Science, Prayagraj
(UP), Department of Postgraduate Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Lower. var.
Pusa rub). Thirteenth treatments viz., T0-Control, T1-PEG6000(5% for 12 hrs), T2-PEG6000(10% for 12
hrs), T3-Manitol (5% for 12 hrs), T4-Manitol(10% for 12 hrs), T5-KCl(3% for 12 hrs ), T6-KCl(5% for 12
hrs), T7-KNO3(3% for 12 hrs), T8-KNO3(5% for 12 hrs), T9-Sea weed extract(1% for 12 hrs), T10-Sea weed
extract (5% for 12 hrs), T11-Coconut water (1% for 12 hrs) and T12-Coconut water (3% for 12 hrs). The
experiment and study indicated interesting and different outcomes for each treatment performed. It is clear
from the first stage which treatments are the best and the shortest time to germinate is observed. It is
fascinating to see that other treatments work best compared to control. Ea
