Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different growing condition and seed treatment on germination of Bismarck palm (Bismarckia nobilis)” during Kharif-2023 at Ornamental Nursery, College of Horticulture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with a factorial concept and three repetitions. The minimized time period for days taken for germination (62.59) and number of days taken to 50% germination percentage (GT50) (71.15) and also increase germination percentage (67.07%), germination rate index (GRI) (93.20), corrected germination rate index (CGRI) (140.63) and final survival percentage (67.07%) were recorded significantly in green net poly tunnel as comparison to open condition. The minimum time period for days taken for germination (57.17), number of days taken to 50% germination percentage (GT50) (64.67) and also increase germination percentage (85.00%), GRI (126.28), CGRI (159.50) and final survival percentage (85.00%) were recorded significantly in mechanically scarification. While, in interaction effect, minimum days taken for germination (56.67), number of days taken to 50% germination percentage (GT50) (62.67) and maximum germination percentage (86.33) and final survival percentage (86.33) found with treatment combination of green net poly tunnel with mechanically scarification.
