| Abstract |
Super sweet corn production is faced with problems of stand establishment resulting from low seedling vigor due to inadequate starch accumulation in its seed endosperm. Seed priming has been used to enhance seed germination. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hydropriming (distilled water, H2O), 300-fold diluted wood vinegar and halopriming (0.1 M) sodium chloride and (0.1 M) calcium chloride on germination, seedling growth and yield of ‘Hibrix53’(F1-hybrid) and ‘ATS-5’(open pollinated) cultivars of super sweet corn. Fresh and artificially accelerated aged seeds were used in the laboratory study. The primed seeds germinated faster than unprimed fresh and aged hybrid and open pollinated seeds. Wood vinegar primed seeds had a significantly higher percentage germination than the other treatments in fresh hybrid seeds. However, negative priming effects were noted during final evaluation at the end of germination tests. Under field conditions using fresh seeds, primed seeds of both cultivars had better field emergence than unprimed seeds, with the wood vinegar priming treatment being the best among the treatments for fresh hybrid seeds. Seed priming treatment did not alter any of the agronomic traits, including yield and yield components. |
