Abstract:

Pterocarpus santalinus (Linn. f) is a very important tree species and valuable plant for the timber and medicinal value. The Pterocarpus santalinus (Linn. f) is belongs to Family-Fabaceae. The salient outcome of the experiment result revealed that the germination and growth performance of Pterocarpus santalinus seedling at nursery stage help in enhancement of the germination and growth parameter with respect to the seedling height, collar diameter and number of leaves per plant during the period of study. And the species was raised thorough seed and sown in after soaking in water and cow dung slurry for 24 hours. The observation that the treatment sowed better germination percentage is cow dung slurry compare to water-soaked treatment.
