Title: Effect of pre-sowing treatment on seed germination and seedlings growth of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. - an important medicinal plants in Bangladesh
Abstract: Germination behavior of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. under six different pre-sowing treatments and seedling growth performance in nursery and field conditions were investigated. The treatments were i) soaked in hot water (1000C) for 10 second, ii) soaked in cold water for 12 hours, iii) soaked in cold water for 24 hours, iv) soaked in cold water for 36 hours, v) seeds scratched on the cemented floor and vi) control. Growth performances were determined by transferring the young seedling having 4-6 leaves at the age of 25-30 days, from germination bed to polybag filled with soil-cow dung mixture and followed by outplanting in the field at one year age. Germination percentage was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhance by pre-sowing treatment in hot water (1000C) for 10 seconds in comparison to other treatments. The survival percentage of seedling was highest (89%) in the field after one year at 2.0 m x 2.0 m spacing and average height was 94.32 cm after 2 years of outplanting. Pre-sowing treatment of seeds in hot water (1000C) for 10 second for nursery raising and one year old seedlings for outplanting at 2.0 m x 2.0 m spacing in the field were found suitable for successful plantation for the species.
Key words: Pre-sowing treatment, germination behavior, survival percentage and growth performance
