This study was conducted in an attempt to break dormancy and thus enhance germination of goldenrain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) seeds. Prior to sowing, seeds were treated as follows: (i) cold stratification of seeds at 4 degree C for 30, 45 and 60 days; (ii) soaking in 500 mg/L polystimulin (PS-A6+PS-K), gibberellic acid (GA3), or benzylaminopurine (BAP) for 24 h and stratification for 30 days; or (iii) soaking in 100 mL/L effective microorganisms (EM 1), 5000 mg/L PS-A6+PS-K, GA3 and BAP for 72 h, followed by stratification for 45 days. Results indicated that the highest germination (94%) was obtained using 100 mL/L EM 1 application and stratification for 45 days at 4 degree C. Stratification was also effective for breaking dormancy of K. paniculata seeds with EM 1 and 45 days or 60 days of stratification.
