Enhancing Rice Performance Through Seed Priming

Seed priming is a proven cost-effective technique that enhances rice (Oryza sativa) performance particularly in stressful conditions such as salinity drought and poor soil quality. By pre-treating seeds with water chemicals or osmotic agents priming accelerates metabolic processes improving seed germination seedling vigor and plant resilience. For salt-affected areas priming methods like hydropriming osmopriming and chemical priming help rice withstand saline stress boosting early growth and development. This approach is a simple and promising strategy to increase rice yields and improve crop performance in both traditional and stress-prone agricultural environments.
