Application of priming through organic compounds in oat (Avena sativa L.) seed production

Abstract

To acquire potentiality under productivity and seed quality in Oat crop, the seed priming was applied through implication of three organic compounds viz. Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), Salicylic acid (SA) and Nicotinic acid (NA) under diverse concentrations and treatment durations. In assessment, the observations allied to seven yield attributes for getting the real exposure of qualitative and quantitative plant nature. The treatments, T8 (NAA,75ppm) followed by T9 (NAA,100ppm) and T4 (SA,10ppm) were most operative with significant disparity among varied treatments except in seeds spikelet-1. The treatment durations showed non-significant demarcation though, D2 was hopeful for few characters predominantly in spikelet panicle-1, seed volume. Similarly, the interaction of treatment and duration showed non-significant demarcation in which T8D2 interacted value was the top. Correlation values indicated positive effect for most characters especially in seed yield though exception was observed in few cases. Diverse treatments specified the extent of effects on seed or plant to upgrade the qualitative and quantitative manner. The treatments, T8 and T4 with precise duration may be added for fodder seed production to obtain capable seed.
