The Present investigation based on experiment conducted at Kotdwara Forest Division nursery to assess the effects of certain type of treatment for increasing regeneration potential of common fodder tree species especially having tough seed coat viz., Bauhinia variegata (Kachnar), Linn. ; Grewia disprema (Dayamul), Schleichera oleosa (Kusum) and Terminalia bellirica (Bahera). It was found that hard seed coat act as a barrier for general seedling growth on natural condition. The percentage germination of seed has been found to be very low which affects regeneration under natural condition. The present study was undertaken to find out the effect of various pre-sowing treatment on such fodder tree species to get early germination with good germination percentage.
