abstract = "Seed priming of wheat is an effective pre-sowing treatment having positive influence on wheat growth and seed yield. Effectiveness of seed priming depends on seed size and priming duration. Seed priming at different time duration and its impact on growth and yield of wheat varieties still unknown. A field study was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during Rabi season of 2012-13 in Madhupur tract (AEZ-28) of Bangladesh. The experiment was carried out with two wheat varieties (i) BARI Gom-25 and (ii) BARI Gom-26 and five hydro priming treatments e.g. (i) No priming (ii) 3hrs priming (iii) 6hrs priming (iv) 9hrs priming  (v) 12hrs priming under split-plot design with three replications to study the effect of priming on wheat varieties. The results revealed that, seed priming had no statistically significant effect on varieties. But, priming for 6hrs and 9hrs significantly influences emergence count than non-primed seeds. The highest emergence count can be observed from 9hrs priming at 10 and 15 DAS (4.5 and 41.67, respectively). The highest number of effective tiller was demonstrated by both 6hrs and 9hrs of priming. Seed priming for 9hrs exhibited the highest number of leaves/tiller (8.30 at 30 DAS), LAI (7.28 at 60 DAS) and number of tiller (53.17 at 60 DAS). Seed priming for 9hrs also exhibited the highest number of spike (38.67), spikelets/spike (20.15), 1000 grain weight (46.61g) and grain yield (2.86 t/ha) whereas the lowest from non-primed seeds. Interaction of variety and priming treatments indicated the advantage of seed priming over non-primed seeds. Emergence count was the highest for 6hrs and 9hrs primed BARI Gom-26 seeds (5), 9hrs BARI Gom-25 seeds (5). The highest number of spike (42) was produced by BARI Gom-26 with 9hrs of priming whereas the maximum spikelet/spike (21.18), 1000 grain weight (49.82g) and grain yield (2.88 t/ha) was produced by BARI Gom-25 with 9hrs of priming. For interaction effects, statistically identical grain yield (2.83 t/ha) can be observed from BARI Gom-26 with 9hrs of priming. Non primed wheat seeds showed the lowest yield (2.72 t/ha) for BARI Gom-25.",
