Biopriming of Maize Hybrid Seeds with Biocontrol Agents for Improving Germination and Vigour

Abstract

An investigation was carried out with COH (M) 5 hybrid maize seed to standardize the optimum concentration and duration of biopriming with talc based formulations of Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens individually. The duration for hydropriming was also standardized. The results revealed that biopriming with TNAU talc formulations of Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 80% concentration for 6 h and 12h, respectively was found to enhance the germination rate, total germination percentage, seedling growth and vigour of COH (M) 5 hybrid maize seeds.

Keywords: Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Talc product, Biopriming, Maize hybrid seeds, Enhanced germination and vigour.
