Biopriming of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seed with Pseudomonas fluorescens for improvement of seed invigoration and seedling growth

Biopriming treatment is potentially able to promote rapid and more uniform seed germination and plants growth associated with bacterial coatings. In this study, we report application of some effective biological agents on sunflower seed and their impact on seedling. We investigated the effects of 30 strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens on improving sunflower seed germination and promotion of seedling growth. After selection of efficient strains,...
