Seed priming with essential oils for sustainable wheat agriculture in semi-arid region.

ABSTRACT: Drought is one of the major constraints to global crop production. A number of sustainable systems have focused on the development of environmentally friendly innovative biotechnological interventions to prevent yield losses. The use of essential oils as a seed priming agent can make an important contribution as a natural stimulant in increasing drought stress tolerance. This study focuses on the effects of seeds coated with different doses (D₀ (0%), D₁ (0.01%), D₂ (0.05%), D₃ (0.10%) and D₄ (0.25%)) of sage, rosemary and lavender essential oils on wheat germination, seedling establishment and yield parameters. Turkey's local wheat genotype Köse was used as plant material. The impact of the seed priming on germination rate, coleoptile
