Merrill] Seeds T2 - International Journal of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering SP - 752 EP - 756 VL - 9 SN - 1307-6892 UR - https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10001751 PU - World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology NX - Open Science Index 103, 2015 N2 - In order to determine the impact of thermo priming on germination of soybean seeds, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three replications. The factors of studied included different time thermo priming (control, 5 and 10 minutes) through the placing seeds were exposed to oven. The results showed that the effect of thermo priming was significant on germination percentage, seedling dry weight and seedling vigour in P ≤ 0.05. Mean comparison showed that the highest germination percentage (77%), seedling dry weight (1.39 g) and seedling vigour (107.03) were achieved by 10 minutes thermo priming.  ER -
