Abstract: 

In vitro experiment was conducted during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to assess the effect of bio-priming with different concentrations, such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% of different seaweed liquid fertilizers on performance of germination and growth indices such as % germination, length of root, shoot and seedling, seed stamina index (SSI), seed vigor index (SVI), germination index (GI) and mean germination time (MGT) of onion (Allium cepa L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata L.) seeds. The experiment was based with 11 treatments with control and three replications. Results demonstrated that every single examined parameter was essentially influenced at 4% concentration. Therefore, the outcomes propose that bio-priming is a valuable technique of enhancing seedling growth of onion (Allium cepa L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata L.) hence should be suggested for poor agriculturists who are in occupied in production of onion (Allium cepa L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata L.) seeds.
