Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during 2014 in the Orchard, KVK, Majhgawan, Satna, (MP) to assess the effect of different treatments on breaking seed dormancy in anola. The maximum (80.39%) germination recorded in acid scarification for 30 seconds was significantly superior to other treatments and the least was recorded in (32.33%) control. The seeds subjected to acid scarification for 30 seconds recorded minimum number of days (12.27) for 50 per cent germination but seedling length (15.23 cm) and root length (7.68 cm) was higher in seeds treated with GA3 500 ppm for 24 hours. The seedlings from the acid scarified seeds for 30 seconds registered maximum vigour index of 1223.
