Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Seed Germination behaviour and seedling attributes of Buchanania lanzan (Spreng.) in South-Eastern Rajasthan” was carried out during April 2019 to October 2019 at Department of Forest Biology and Tree Improvement, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with twelve plus trees and two concentrations (2.5%, 5%) with a total of twenty four treatments and tree replications. Result revealed that minimum number of days for first seed germination (8.67 days), highest seed germination percentage (68.89) and survival percentage (90.30) were significantly observed in treatment, T₁₃. Significantly, increased in the seedling growth attributes like collar diameter (4.02 mm), seedling height (27.28 cm) and number of leaves (14.20) were also recorded maximum in treatment, T₁₃.
