Abstract
The experiment evaluated the effect of organic seed priming on the seed
quality of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under controlled
laboratory conditions. Seeds were primed with different organic solutions,
including biochar (1%), panchagavya (3%), vermiwash (5%), cow urine (5%), humic
acid (0.25%) and bio NPK (10%), along with hydropriming and an untreated control
by using Completely Randomized Design with four replications was followed.
Significant variation was observed in humic acid @ 0.25% where recorded the
highest germination percentage (98.50%), seedling length (24.96 cm), seedling
dry weight (12.13 mg) and vigour index I (2458). Organic priming, particularly
with humic acid (0.25%), offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic seed
treatments for better seedling establishment and growth.
