Effect of chemical pre-treatments (HCL AND H2SO4) on seed germinability in Jatropha Curcas (L.)
Abstract
Seed propagation studies were carried out on percent germination, shoot length and root length of Jatropha curcas. Seeds were treated with different chemical treatments and effect of seed age. Seeds of J. curcas treated with HCL, H2SO4 and hot water showed significantly more germination and shoot length. Similarly the chemical treatment H2SO4 (50%) at different time period worked significantly better than other treatments.
Key words: Seed Propagation, chemical treatment, Jatropha curcas.
