Present study investigated the potential of priming with moringa leaf extract (MLE) and magnetized water (MW) alone or in combinations on germination, seedling growth and biochemical attributes of pea seeds. Untreated seeds were used as control. Priming strategies improved germination capacity, stand establishment and seedling vigor in comparison with hydropriming and control. Priming with MW greatly improved germination and seedling vigor of pea seeds as compared to control and other seed treatments.
