Seed priming is one of the key techniques for improvement of crop performance and nutrient enrichment in seed. In the present study, this technique was explored for improving germination and crop performance of treated paddy seed. The seed material comprised of Shabhagi dhanhaving12 months old seed lot which was treated with ZnSO4and FeSO4each at four level of treatment 0.25, 0.5, 1.0,2.0 per cent. Seed quality parameters of treated seed was enhanced. The treatment with ZnSO4 (0.5%) showed highest seedling dry weight. ZnSO4 (2%) recorded highest dehydrogenase activity, and also highest zinc content in seed.FeSO4 (2.0 %) recorded lowest EC , highest SVI-I and highest iron content in seed; while ZnSO4 (1.0 %) recorded highest SVI-II.
