Effect of Hydro-priming and Salinity Stress on Germination Indices of Niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.)
In order to evaluate the effect of hydropriming and Salinity stress on germination indices of Niger, a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replications at seed research laboratory of Shahrekord University. Salinity treatments were applied at five levels...
