Where experiment carried out with 8 treatment replicated 3 times, each replication consist of 25 plants.An experiment entitled “Studies on seed germination in Charoli. (Buchanania lanzan Spreng.)” was carried out during the year 2018-19 at Nursery Unit, Main Garden, Department of Fruit science, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola with the objectives to study the effect of seed treatment on seed germination and seedling growth in charoli and find out suitable seed treatment for enhancement of seed germination and seedling growth of Charoli. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication. There were eight treatments viz., GA3 - 200 ppm, 300 ppm seed soaking for 24 hour in distilled water, KNO3 (1%) and (2%) seed soaking for 24 hour in distilled water,10 min con. H2SO4 followed by seed soaking for 24 hour in distilled water, Thiourea (1%) seed soaking for 24 hour in distilled water, Mechanical scarification (breaking hard seed coat by hammering), control (seed soaking in tap water for 24 hour). The observations were recorded on different growth parameters. The result of the investigation indicated that, among the different seed treatments, GA3 200 ppm solution for 24 hour prior to sowing showed better performance for all seed germination parameters viz., days required for germination, germination percentage, seed vigour. With regarding the seedling growth parameters viz., seedlings height, number of leaves per plant, stem diameter, leaf area and final survival percentage. On the basis of B:C ratio, it is conclude that mechanical scarification (Breaking hard seed coat by hammering) found beneficial as well as economical treatment, hence it is recommended for commercial seed germination of Charoli.enCrop, Fruit crops, Charoli, Buchanania lanzan Spreng, Seed treatments, Gibberellins, Growth and development, leaf area, Statistics and experimentation, Statistical method, Data collection, Data analysis, RBD, Data managementSTUDIES ON SEED GERMINATION IN CHAROLI (Buchanania lanzan Spreng.).Thesis
