Description Various botanicals have been used traditionally for several purposes in agriculture including seed treatment for lengthening seed longevity while maintaining its planting quality. With recent advancements of nanotechnology in agriculture, use of input materials in nanoform has gained attention significantly. This experiment aimed to assess the influence of nano and near nano size powders of chilli, fenugreek and turmeric in three doses, viz. 1 g, 2 g, 3 g of botanical powder per kg of seed, on seed physiological performances in oat. In general, the botanical powders improved the seed germination, shoot and root length, seedling dry-weight, and seed vigour indices as compared to control. The botanicals also reduced the seed pathogen infection and improved seedling emergence and grain yield when treated seeds were planted in the field. However, the responses of seed to the botanical treatments were dose-dependent and varied across the botanicals. Results of this experiment reaffirms the traditional knowledge of beneficial effects of botanicals on plant seed performances and shows the importance of using them in nano and near nano forms.
