Abstract

Prunus cerasoides is indigenous multipurpose tree species of the Himalayan regions and is also used for religious purpose, edible fruit, seed and gum as well as different medical applications, lumber, dyestuff, tannins and beads. The present investigation was carried out to estimation the seed germination of P. cerasoides from different sources of Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand. The experiment consisted of six seed sources and fifteen different pre-sowing treatments, the data regarding on fruit and seed morphology were analyzed for Randomized Block Design, while seed germination and seedling growth data were analyzed for Completely Randomized Design. Among the seed source, Silyara, Kuteti and Sadargaun seed source were showed superiority with respect to fruit and seed morphology. For seed germination and growth attributes, the highest (72.86%) germination percent was recorded in Silyara seed source followed by Sadargaun (69.00%), Kuteti (66.66%), Develgaun (64.4%), Chaurangikhal (63.06%) and Ranichauri (55.00%). In pre-sowing treatments, Gibberellic acid and hot water for 100⁰C at 24 hours was showed maximum germination percent and total seedling growth as compared to other treatments. The application of treatment GA3 solution and hot water for 100⁰C at 24 hours was better for seed germination and seedling growth in case of P. cerasoides.
