AB  - The present study was conducted to enhance the germination and seedling growth of wheat (<I>Triticum aestivum</I> L.) CV. Zarin seeds using different osmopriming treatments. Seeds were osmoprimed with Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 8000), KNO<SUB>3</SUB> solutions for 12 h. The osmotic potential of the all solutions were -0.3, -0.6 and -0.9 MPa. During osmopriming operation all solutions aerated with aquarium pump. The control seeds were not treated. Osmopriming treatments improved germination and seedling vigor than that control.
