Abstract:
To study the Seed Hydro-Priming effects on soybeans morphologic, and qualitative and quantitativetraits, a research was carried out in Ardebil Islamic Azad University research farm, in 2008. This research wasconducted in factorial based on complete block randomized design. One of the Seed Hydro-Priming factors was 8,12, 16 and 20 hours which were soaked in tap water and dried to 30percent moisture. A seed sample was alsoconsidered as an observation sample (without pretreatment). The second cultivar factor was Williams and LV
(17)
.Results indicated that there is a significant difference at 1percent level between hydro-priming durations on plantheight, grain yield, oil content, weight of sub-stems, number of sub-stem and germination percentage. In most traitsother than sub-stems weight and number of sub-stems, 8-hour Hydro-Priming provided the best yield. Moreover,cultivar interaction effects on plant height trait in Hydro-Priming were significant at 1percent. The results to theaverage comparison table indicated that Williams cultivar had the most height with 8-hour Hydro-Priming. Also,there was a significant difference among cultivars on number of sub-stem, weight of sub-stems and plant height at1percent and in most traits LV

had a better yields comparing to the Williams cultivar. Considering the results,see Hydro-Priming due to the short growth period and to increase the yield and better green in farm seems to be of significance. Also, 8-hour Seed Hydro-Priming is suggested for soybeans.[Seyed sajjad Moosavi, Davar Hayati Khanghah, Ali Mohammadpour Khanghah, Yousef Alaei and Maryam Jafari.
