Effect of pre-sowing treatment on the germination of golla-bet (Daemonorops jenkensiana) seeds [in Bangladesh]

1994

Ara, R. | Mohiuddin, M. | Rashid, M.H.

Seed germination of golla-bet (Daemonorops jenkensiana) after pre-sowing treatment was studied. The seeds treated with HCL and H2SO4 separately showed 64-68% and 50-68% germination respectively irrespective of different concentration of acid. On removing only scally epicarp, germination of golla-bet increased to 51% without any acid treatment. The results indicate that acid scarification turn the hard seed coat into thin and papery resulting easy infiltration of water to accelerate possible enzyme activities in endosperm.
