Abstract:
The experiment was conducted to study the influence of seed priming and
yield comparison of three chilli genotypes (Capsicum annuum) in the
laboratory and then at the net house of Agronomy field, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh during June to October,
2016. Treatments consisted of three different varieties of chilli: V
= Bona
(local), V
2
= BARI Morich-1 (HYV) and V
= Siam Hot (hybrid), and four
levels of priming with sodium chloride: S
0
3
= Control, S
1
= 3 dS/m, S
= 6 dS/m,
S
= 9 dS/m. The experiment was laid out following Completely Randomized
Design (CRD) with three replications. Result revealed that germination,
seedling growth and yield of chilli was significantly influenced by variety and
priming where BARI Morich-1, 3 dS/m, and BARI Morich-1 with 3 dS/m
gave the highest germination percentage (75.42%, 60.56%, and 88.33%,
respectively). The highest number of marketable fruit was obtained from
BARI Morich-1, 6 dS/m, and BARI Morich-1 with 6 dS/m (97, 94, and 111,
respectively). The highest yield of the interaction treatment was attributed to
the dry weight of seedling as well as the highest number of capsule plant
3
and
total dry weight of capsule. Therefore, it can be concluded that the priming
with sodium chloride (3 or 6 dS/m) had a positive impact on BARI Morich-1
(HYV) of chilli.
