Abstract
The present experiment entitled “Effect of seed storage period and
growth regulators on seed germination and growth of jackfruit (Artocarpus
heterophyllus Lam.)” was carried out in green shade net house at Horticultural
Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand during the year kharif- 2019. The experiment was laid
out in Completely Randomized Design with factorial concept having fifteen treatment

extraction of seed, S2- 5 days after extraction of seed and S3- 10 days after extraction
of seed with five levels of growth regulators (G) viz., G1- GA3 @ 100 mg l-1, G2- GA3
@ 150 mg l-1, G3- NAA @ 25 mg l-1, G4- NAA @ 50 mg l-1 and G5- Control. The
treatments were repeated thrice.
