Comparisons of rice plants and yields derived from different conditions tested in pot experiments. Rice plants and yields merging from healthy seeds (HS), unhealthy seeds (UHS), fungicide treated seeds, and primed seeds. The fungicide-treated seeds were prepared using UHS plus chemical fungicide, benomyl (Benomyl). The primed seeds were prepared using HS or UHS primed with water (HS + water or UHS + water) and UHS bioprimed with bacterial cell suspension made of Bacillus sp. CZR007 (Biopriming). Seed hydropriming and biopriming were carried out for 9 and 12 h. The pictures of rice plants and their yields were photographed at the harvesting stage in pot experiments
