Impact of Seed weight on the Germination Energy of Parkia timoriana Merr

Abstract

Kernels of Parkia timoriana demonstrates both intra explicit and bury explicit variety in kernel mass. An examination was completed to contemplate the impact of seed weight on propagation and early developmental levels of the sorts. Develop kernels were gathered from origin of Mizoram, India. They were further built and assembled into three classifications as light (lwt), intermediate (mwt) and heavy (hwt), utilizing a predecided mass technique. The assembled kernels are further planted utilizing 1 mm sieved sod as an intermediate in polythen packs. Post germination and via two leaf phase we begin checking the saplings length, neckline distance across, dry mass, and alike at regular intervals interim and up to 90th day, by utilizing dangerous strategy. Studies on germination and seedling growth parameters presume that aside from mean germination time (MGT) and germination index (GI), various modes are decidedly related to expanding mass. Relative growth rate (RGR) and average growth rate (AGR) utilization seedling dry mass likewise indicated a affirmative connection with seed mass. Aside through this, the dispersion example of seed loads as determined from the recurrence appropriation of 255 seeds didn't show log typical dissemination (K-S test: P<0.05, d=0.163, n=255). Kernel weight (n=255) fluctuated from 0.39 g to 0.81 g. Within the weight class, mid weight (0.5 to 0.69 g) seeds made up 56.48% of the total populace followed by substantial mass (23.14 %) and afterward by light mass (20.39 %).
