Abstract

The Purpose of this study was to determine the impact of salinity stress on seed quality parameters and its mitigation through seed quality enhancement in blackgram seeds (Vigna mungo L.). The lab experiment was conducted during 2020-2021 in seed testing laboratory Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, NAI, SHUATS, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Salinity stress on blackgram seeds on enhancement of seed quality parameters. The were given a treatment Panchagaya (3% and 6%), Bejamrita (25% and 50%), Coconut water (8% and 10%), KNO3 (3grm and 6gm) in seed quality parameters under the various Salinity Stress condition of with three levels S0, S1 and S2 (0 mM, 100 mM, 150mM) with Shaker –II variety of Blackgram. The result revealed that treatments recorded significant variation with the untreated control. The treatment combination T8S0 of 6gm KNO3 for 12 hours at 0 mM NaCl performed well with seedling. Germination of Percentage 95.50%, Shoot length as 10.025 cm as follows as Root length 12

Keywords

Black gram, Organic priming, Inorganic priming, Salinity Stress.

Conclusion

From the present investigation it is concluded that the seed treatment enhanced all the seed quality parameters under salinity stress in blackgram seeds when compared to control. It was also revealed that seed treatment with 6g of KNO3 is easy and effective approach to enhance the seed quality parameters under salinity stress.
