Abstract
The seeds of Clitoria ternatea and Momordica charantia were subjected to seven pre-sowing treatments i.e. control (T‚) peeled coat and soaked in 5C for 24 hours (T‚�) peeled coat and soaked in 37C for 24 hours (T‚‚) peeled coat and soaked in 5C for 48 hours (T‚) peeled coat and soaked in 37C for 48 hours (T‚„) peeled coat and soaked in 5C for 48 hours (T‚) peeled coat and soaked in 37C for 72 hours (T‚). The study revealed that peeling the coat and soaking seeds in water for various temperatures and periods improved seed germination. The highest germination and germination energy percentage of C. ternatea were observed in T‚‚ namely 94.95 and 23.69 respectively while the lowest germination (0) and germination energy (0) was found in T‚. The highest germination and germination energy percentage of M. charantia namely 64.38 and 16.10 respectively were found in T‚ while the lowest germination (10.67) and germination energy (2.17) were observed in T0. The germination may vary for both seeds used in the study as C. ternatea and M. charantia are different in type. The pre-sowing treatments of seeds would prove its potential in the practical fields.
