Abstract
Soaking in water application of IAA, GA3 and thiourea alone or subsequent to scarification promoted seed germination to over 90% within 6 days of incubation at 20-30°C as against 18-30% germination after 30 days of untreated seeds. Large size seeds gave better germination. Storage up to 12 months had no significant effect on germination. The seeds germinated better at pH 5-7.
