Farmers normally practice cassava propagation by cuttings so,it is considered a labor intensive crop.Moreover,vegetative cuttings also are often responsible for the spread of diseases and pests.The use of true seed instead of stem cuttings for cassava production would eliminate these problems and potentially reduce production costs.Limiting factor is lack of quick and uniform seed germination.Investigation of techniques to improve germination and emergence are numerous.One seed treatment method that has proven successful in increasing seed vigor in most cases is priming or osmoconditioning.Seed priming is the process of soaking seed in osmotic solution.
