An experiment was conducted to study the effect of seed priming with water, CaCl2 at 2%, 6 ppm, 8 ppm, 10 ppm and 12 ppm of proline on germination and seedling vigour of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) exposed to four level of salinity i.e., 2 dS/m, 4 dS/m, 6 dS/m and 8 dS/m NaCl and water. The experimental design was based on factorial completely randomized design with four replications and performed at the laboratory of crop physiology, college of agriculture, university of agricultural sciences, Raichur. The chickpea seeds were primed with water, CaCl2 at 2% and different concentration of proline for six hours and kept for germination. The exposure of chickpea seeds to increasing concentration of NaCl had drastically reduced germination (%), seedling vigour index, seedling dry weight and seedling length. It is evident from the result that seed pri.. View More»
