Abstract
A sub-sample of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. cv.ILC482) seeds was kept as control and two other sub-samples with about 15% moisture content were aged at 40 °C for 10 and 12 days. Consequently, three seed lots with different levels of vigor were provided. These seed lots were soaked in distilled water at 15°C for 12 and 18 hours and then dried back to initial moisture content at a room temperature of 20-22°C. Then seeds were sown in the field as split plot factorial based on RCB design. Hydro-priming improved leaf temperature of plants. Hydro-priming also enhanced grain yield of plants from all seed lots. Plants from high vigor seed lot had higher stem height and grain yield under different irrigation treatments, compared with those from low vigor seed lots. Leaf water content of chickpea plants from hydro-primed seeds was more than the plants from unprimed seeds. It was concluded that hydro-priming can somewhat repair aged seeds and improve their performance under different irrigation treatments
