The experiment was conducted to study the effect of pre-sowing seed treatments on field emergence, plant growth and seed yield attributes under field condition. Experiment was conducted in field with Factorial RBD design including three wheat varieties GW 1, GW 1346 and GADW 3 primed with T2: KNO₃ (1%), T3: Salicylic Acid (100 ppm), T4: CaCl₂ (250 ppm) and T5: H₂O₂ (100 mM); coated with T6: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, T7: Calcium Peroxide T8: Bacillus subtilis and T9: Bio NPK. T1 was taken as control. The primed seeds were shade dried up to their original moisture content and sown in the field with three replications. The seed yield and its characters were recorded during rabi seasons at Agricultural Research Station, AAU, Dhandhuka during 2023-24. The yield attributing characters showed significant differences among pre-sowing seed treatments, wheat varieties and their interaction. Among the different priming treatments; seeds primed with KNO₃ (1%) recorded significantly highest field emergence (84.89 %), plant height (96.98 cm), number of tillers per plant (8.53), number of effective tillers per plant (8.07), spike length (8.49 cm), number of seeds per spike (36.47), 1000 seed weight (50.68 g), seed yield per plant (14.74 g) and seed yield per plot (1.96 kg). Among the varieties: GW 1 showed positive response to different pre-sowing seed treatments and recorded significantly higher field emergence (86.26 %), 1000 seed weight (51.67 g), number of seeds per spike (35.18), seed yield per plant (13.56 g) and seed yield per plot (1.94 kg) whereas GADW 3 recorded higher plant height (98.21 cm), number of tillers per plant (8.12), number of effective tillers per plant (7.67) and spike length (8.4 cm).

These pre-sowing seed technologies help seeds to overcome abiotic stresses at the time of germination and growth. The variety GW 1 was observed to maintain higher field emergence and yield. Durum wheat variety GADW 3 performed better than GW 1346. Based on the results from the present study, further investigations can be performed in pre-sowing seed technology programs to improve seed quality traits.
