Figure 1. Pigeonpea seeds soaking in water, a process called hydropriming
– 4 hybrids, 6 cultivars
– No soaking (control), 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs
– 5 samples per replication
– Alfisol and Vertisol

– Utilize available moisture in rice-fallow systems
– Longer radicles = more drought-tolerant seedlings – Fastest emergence = successful stand establishment
