Abstract
Micronutrient deficiency is one of the major constraints to crop productivity. Agronomic interventions like nutrient seed priming (NSP) can significantly improve crop establishment in micronutrient deficient soils. However, the success of this technique will depend on the efficacy of the priming procedures. Hence the laboratory experiment was carried out to estimate the effect of different boron concentrations like 0 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm and 200 ppm on wheat var. HUW-234 vs HUW-468 where, seeds were placed in petri plates with boron treated blotting papers and kept in growth chamber at 25°C for germination to take place. Amount of soluble sugar, starch and free amino acid content in shoot and root were found to be highest in T0 (0 ppm or Control) in both the varieties. HUW-468 showed better results than HUW-234 in context to soluble sugar, starch and free amino acid content in both shoot and root. Whereas, proline and malondialdehyde is highest in T4 (200 ppm) in both the varieties in both shoot and root. HUW-468 showed highest proline and malondialdehyde content for both shoot and root indicating that the variety is more tolerant to high salt toxicity than HUW-234.
