Abstract Background Low soil temperature and its fluctuation can negatively impact the growth of seedlings. The district Cooch Behar (India), belonging to Cwa zone (according Koppen's classification), receives several cold waves during winter. Our previous study demonstrated that a constant 20 °C (chilling but not freezing) cause loss in vigor tomatoes. Since is uniform throughout day, we hypothesized duration exposure have variable effects on seed vigor. Results It was observed increasing stress slow down germination process reduce This due cold‐mediated damage cell membranes (due dehydration) which caused electrolyte leakage reduced levels glutathione reductase. In this regard, biopriming seeds with microbes produce exopolysaccharide (EPS) be useful as it form protective layer seeds. Indigenous EPS‐producing bacteria, Bacillus , Phytobacter Priestia sp., were used for biopriming. sp. only also increased antioxidant genes. improved speed field trial, rhizosphere seedlings pretreated bioinoculants displayed thermal compared untreated Conclusion treated grew faster spite low temperature. nursery time © 2025 Society Chemical Industry.
