Abstract

Priming is one of the physiological methods which improves seed performance and synchronize germination. In this regard a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of sorghum phenology and green fodder yield to various sources and levels of osmopriming. The experiment was laid down in randomize complete block design with four replications. In this research eight priming sources i.e. NaCl, CaCl , KCl, KNO , NH Cl, Na SO , PEG and Manitol 2 3 4 2 4along with seed soaking in water and control were tested on sorghum seed germinated in laboratory to test germination % and the effect of osmopriming on germination of sorghum seed in incubator at room temperature after 24 hour priming
