A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed priming on seed quality during storage of wheat seed sunder mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh. Seeds of wheat var. HPW 236 were primed with tap water, KNO3 (2.5%), KCl (2.0%), KH2PO4 (1.0%) for 16-17 hours and used for conducting the experiment along with unprimed control. After priming, seeds were dried back to their original moisture content and stored in high density polyethylene (HDPE) interwoven bags non-laminated bags for 6 months. The results indicated significant effect of seed priming treatments for all the seeds quality parameters under study. It was observed that irrespective of seed priming treatments, seed quality deteriorated during storage. Among all the seed priming treatments, seed priming with KNO3 (2.5%) was found to be superior for all seed quality parameters in comparison to the other priming treatments. Priming wheat seeds with KNO3 (2.5%)maintained the highest seed germination (90.00%), seedling length (21.81cm), seedling dry weight (0.194 g), seedling vigour index (1962.89), field emergence (78.33%) and lowest moisture content (10.27%), followed by priming with tap water over unprimed control at the end of 6 months storage period.
