Abstract

Seed priming is widely recognized as a significant phenomenon for synchronizing germination and enhancing the vigor of seeds. Seeking the importance of priming, the influence of magnetic treatments in overall performance of plants cannot be undermined as well. In the present study, seeds of Pisum sativum L. and Plantago ovata Forssk. were primed with essential Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) such as; Gibberellic acid (GA3), Potassium nitrate (KNO3), Salicylic acid (SA), Ascorbic acid (AsA), Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in combination with different artificial magnetic treatment (North, South and N/S) to document morpho-physiological attributes. A lab experiment was conducted under Complete Randomized Design (CRD) which consisted of 6 seed priming treatment along with control (no-priming) each with three replications. Seeds were primed with water (H2O) and PGRs for 12 hours and the final harvest of seedlings was obtained for morpho-physiological analysis after 20 days of germination. Results portrayed statistically significant (p < 0.05) data by increasing the morphological characteristics (root/shoot length, number of leaves, root/shoot fresh weight and root/shoot dry weight). Similarly, photosynthetic pigments i.e., chl a and carotenoids recorded significant variations under artificial magnetism except chl b which showed non-significant (p > 0.05) variations. Results concluded that hydro priming and pre-soaking of seeds with essential PGRs are highly recommended to maximize the early germination, morpho-physiological performance in pea and plantago seedlings under artificial magnetism.
