Abstract: Castellion and Peromnes are alternative job evaluation methods established in Southern Africa. The two methods act as additional to the traditionally long established job evaluation methods in compensation management. Castellion and Peromnes can serve the same role of the old analytical and non-analytical job evaluation methods on determining the worth of jobs in business organizations. However, there is paucity of information which compares and contrasts Castellion and Peromnes as alternative job evaluation methods.  The aim of this paper was to identify the similarities and differences between Castellion and Peromnes to promote understanding of the methods among job evaluation practitioners. The methodology of this paper was qualitative in which authors searched and retrieved online publications which analyzed Castellion and Peromnes separately. A thorough review of such publications was conducted to determine where Castellion and Peromnes methods have similarities and differences in their mechanisms for job evaluation undertaking. The major findings revealed that they have similarities in terms of blending the features of point rating with those of job grading method of job evaluation. The findings further revealed that to some extent both methods used similar job evaluation factors which included pressure of work, consequences of error, qualification and job experience. Both methods also recognized the importance of Job Evaluation Committees in evaluating management, technical and manual job categories.  However, the sub-division of job evaluation factors by Castellion and job description usage avoidance by Peromnes were important findings on their differences during job evaluation. It was concluded that Castellion and Peromnes are potentially similar job evaluation methods in spite of the notable differences. The paper proposed further research to be conducted on comparative analysis between each of these respective methods and other alternative job evaluation methods particularly the Paterson Decision Band Method for extending knowledge and skills among practitioners.

Abstract: Field and laboratory experiments were conducted at Holeta Agricultural research center with the objective to determine the effect of halo, hydro and hormonal priming on germination, seedling growth seedling vigor and seed yield of carrot crop. The treatments consist of one carrot variety (AUA) and priming media KNO₃(2%), Salicylic acid 2% and distil water at timing of 12, 24, 36 hour and dry seed as control treatment. The experiment was carried out using Randomized Complete Block Design for field experiment in three replications and Completely Randomized Design for laboratory experiment in four replications. Analysis result showed that highly significance difference was observed among the priming treatments for improving days to fifty percent emergence, significant difference was observed for days to maturity and no difference observed for the other field parameters. Similarly, highly significant difference observed for speed of germination, standard germination, seedling length, vigor index one and significance difference was observed for vigor index two. Carrot seed primed by Salicylic acid for 24 hr. took significantly lesser days 13 days to 50% emergence and carrot seed primed by KNO₃ for 24hr, by distil water for 12 hr and 24hr significantly reduced days to number of 50% emergence by 23.08% over control treatment. from field and laboratory experiment priming treatment improve most of the measured variables of carrot seed over the control treatments. Concerning priming medias both at field and laboratory experiment hydro priming was better followed by hormonal and halo priming on most of the measured parameters.
