Studies were conducted to standardize seed to solution ratio and soaking duration for priming of brinjal seeds. The seeds were soaked in three different seed to solution ratios viz., 1: 1, 1: 1.5 and 1: 2 both as weight by volume and volume by volume basis with the priming durations of 6 and 9h. The results revealed that seed priming with seed to solution ratio of 1: 1 as volume by volume basis for 6h increased the germination by 4 per cent along with seedling quality characters.
