RESULTS: Pearlmillet seeds were primed with chitosan at different concentrations: 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3 g kg-1 seed. Of the different concentrations, 2.5 g kg-1 was found to be optimum, with enhanced seed germination of 99 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bl8OZAv0ULzGtdN-aCST2rYsTxKVx1UX/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
