Abstract
Investigation was carried out to study the effect of different duration of hydropriming treatements on seed germination and seedling growth of bitter gourd. The experiment was carried out in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University by adopting Completely Randomised Block Design comprising of seven treatments (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours of seed priming) replicated thrice. Among the different durations of hydropriming studied, seed priming with water for a duration of 48 hours recorded more water imbibition rate, germination percentage, seedling vigour index I and II. The seedling parameters like root length, shoot length, seedling length, seedling fresh and dry weight was found to be more in seeds primed in water for duration of 48 hours.
