An investigation was carried out for Assesment of different priming methods on germination and seed quality parameters of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) genotype. The treatments were T0- Control (un primed) , T1- GA3 (50 ppm ), T2 - Salicylic acid (50 ppm), T3- Mannitol (1%), T4- PEG (1%), T5–Trichodermaviridae (5gm/kg ), T6- Trichoderma harzianum (5gm/kg ), T7 -Calcium chloride (1%), T8- Coconut water (5%), T9- Garlic(Allium sativum) bulb extract (5%), T10 –Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Rhizome extract (5%), T11-Neem leaf extract (5%), and T12-Vermiwash (5%).The Analysis of variance under laboratory revealed that mean sum of squares due to seed priming treatments were significant for all the characters under study indicating presence of good amount of variability among the treatments for all the characters under study. Comparison of various treatments revealed that seed priming have significant role for all the characters studied under laboratory experiment. Application of CaCl2 (1%) and GA3 (50ppm) was found significantly superior over control for the characters studied. Thus, priming with CaCl2 (1%) solution for 12 hours is advantageous to obtain healthy seedlings. The second best option for priming is priming with GA3 (50ppm).
