Seed priming is a proven, cost-effective technique that enhances rice (Oryza sativa) performance, particularly in stressful conditions such as salinity, drought, and poor soil quality. By pre-treating seeds with water, chemicals, or osmotic agents, priming accelerates metabolic processes, improving seed germination, seedling vigor, and plant resilience. For salt-affected areas, priming methods like hydropriming, osmopriming, and chemical priming help rice withstand saline stress, boosting early growth and development. This approach is a simple and promising strategy to increase rice yields and improve crop performance in both traditional and stress-prone agricultural environments.
