Improvement in germination of chirpine (pinus roxburghii) by a presowing treatment with hydrogen peroxide

Soaking of Pinus roxburghii seeds for 24 hours in H2O2 (1 v/v) solution showed 89.8 germination compared with 72.5 for seeds treated with distilled water (control) at 25 C. H2O2 shortened the germination period by 10 days. Although the seeds of P. roxburghii germinate well due to lack of dormancy the increasing demand for large quantities of seeds for reforestation programmes makes presowing treatments useful in improving the percentage of germination

Abstract

Soaking of Pinus roxburghii seeds for 24 hours in H2O2 (1 v/v) solution showed 89.8 germination compared with 72.5 for seeds treated with distilled water (control) at 25 C. H2O2 shortened the germination period by 10 days. Although the seeds of P. roxburghii germinate well due to lack of dormancy the increasing demand for large quantities of seeds for reforestation programmes makes presowing treatments useful in improving the percentage of germination
