Abstract
The present research titled “Standardization of scarification and growing media
for seed germination and seedling growth of chironji (Buchanania lanzan spreng)” with
two experiments will be conducted during the year 2022-2023 at the Department of Fruit
Science, Fruit Nursery, College of Horticulture, Banda Agriculture and Done at University
of Technology, Banda 210 001 (U.P.). The both experiments were carried out in two
different designs and treatments. The effect of plant growth regulators and chemicals on
Chironji seed germination and seedling growth was investigated. In the first experiment,
with nine treatments and four replications were applied which were kept in a completely
randomized design. The evaluation of treatments indicated that significant differences were
found with respect to germination, earliness index, vigour index, seedling growth and root
growth with treatments by different plant growth regulators and chemicals which were
recorded with treatment T2 (GA3 500 ppm).
Similarly, in the second experiment, the effects of different growing media on
Chironji seed germination and seedling growth were investigated, in which six treatments
(media combinations) were applied with four replicates placed in a randomized block design.
The results of the treatments indicated that significant differences were observed with
respect to minimum days taken for seed germination, germination percentage, survival
percentage, earliness index, vigour index, seedling growth and root growth at different ratios
of media combination. The media combination (Soil + FYM + Cocopeat) was recorded with
a ratio of 1:1:1.
