Abstract: The experiment was conducted in Seed science Post Graduate Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Allahabad, U.P. during (2017-18), in order to standardize the best method of priming specific to Fenugreek. Four methods of priming viz., hydropriming, Halopriming, Osmopriming and organicpriming were evaluated by screening a range of durations and concentrations viz. T0-Control, T1-Distilled water,T2-Nacl (2%), T3-Nacl(1%), T4-Kcl (2%), T5-Kcl (1%), T6-Kno3 (2%), T7-Kno3(1%),T8-Neem leaf extract (2%). T9-Moringa leaf extract(3%), T10-Curry leaf extract(3%), for 6 hrs found that all the priming methods showed significance difference with the control and the highest germination %, seedling length (cm), seedling fresh weight (gm), seedling dry weight (gm) and vigour index were observed in T10- Curaleaf extract 3%. The study helps to improve the quality of seeds with the help of seed organic priming treatments which are cost effective and economic, non-toxic, eco-friendly sources.
