Abstract
The effect of sowing media on germination capability of Citrus hystrix seeds Limau Purut had been investigated. This was to find out the best sowing media for germinating seeds of C.hystrix. The experiment was carried out in the nursery of the Forest Research Institute Malaysia. Complete randomized design was chosen in this experiment due to limited number of seed sources. The four kinds of sowing media used were 100 of coconut husk mixture of forest top soil and sand 1:1 100 of sawdust and 100 of rice hulls. Germination was recorded at two days interval. The results showed that germination capability of seeds of C.hystrix was significantly in different kinds of sowing media. The best sowing media for germinating seeds of C.hystrix was sawdust followed by mixture of forest top soil and sand coconut husk and rice hulls. It was also observed that germination period of C.hystrix seeds took almost one month to complete. The seeds however reached their germination peak at the week of 3-4 after sowing.
