Seed priming is a technique used in agriculture to enhance seed germination and improve seedling establishment. It involves pre-treating seeds with certain substances (such as water, nutrients, hormones, or chemicals) before planting to activate physiological processes and prepare the seeds for optimal growth conditions. Seed priming can help overcome factors that inhibit germination, such as dormancy, stress, or poor soil conditions, leading to quicker and more uniform emergence of seedlings. This technique has been studied extensively in various crops to improve crop performance and yield.
