Effect of organic substances and chemicals on seed germination and survivability of tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) seedling in Durg District of Chhattisgarh

Abstract

The present experiment entitled “Effect of organic substances and chemicals on seed germination and survivability of tamarind (Tamarindus indica l.) seedling in Durg district of Chhattisgarh” was conducted during the year 2024-25 at Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Research Station, Sankara, Patan, Durg (C.G.). A Completely Randomized Design was used for statistically analyzed of data, which consisted of 11 treatments and replicated thrice. The present research revealed that the earliest days taken to initiate seed germination (5.50 days), days taken to 50% germination (15.57 days), maximum germination percentage (98.02) and survival percentage of tamarind seedlings (97.25) was recorded under the T7 (Soaking of seeds for 24 hours in GA3@ 200 ppm) to be superior over other treatments. which was closely followed by GA3 @ 400 ppm (Soaking of seeds for 24 hours in GA3@ 200 ppm).
