Treatments | GP (%) | GR (%) | GI | VI | SL (cm) | RL (cm) | SFW (mg) | RFW (mg) | SDW (mg) | RDW (mg) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
NPN | 86.67a | 90.67a | 41.22a | 16.30a | 9.91a | 11.44a | 82.58a | 39.54a | 8.97a | 2.97a |
NPS | 53.33b | 73.33b | 23.23b | 2.21b | 4.34b | 4.23b | 45.40b | 9.50b | 5.53b | 1.03b |
Notes: NPN: no priming and no stress; NPS: no priming and salt stress; GR: germination rate; GI: germination index; VI: vigor index; SL: shoot length; RL: root length; SFW: shoot fresh weight; RFW: root fresh weight; SDW: shoot dry weight; RDW: root dry weight. Different letters within a column indicate a significant difference at p < 0.05.
