Effect of soaking of seeds in bioregulators on germination of Kokum seeds

Abstract

The field experiment was carried out to study the effect of soaking of seeds in bioregulators on germination of Kokum seeds, during year 2013 at fruit crop nursery, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.). The experiment was conducted in RBD with ten pre-sowing seed treatments and replicate in thrice. The results regarding effect of pre-soaking of seeds in bioregulators on germination parameters indicated that the treatment T5 showed the best results for days required for commencement of germination (17.67 days), which was at par with T4 (19.33 days). The treatment T5 (96.00) had significantly highest germination percentage at 90 DAS.
