Syzygium cumini, Germination, Shoot Length and Root Length

Abstract

Seed germination in response to various pre-sowing treatments was studied. The above experiment was conducted and observed that, Thiourea for 45 minutes and Kinetin for 60 minutes favoured maximum seed germination and enhancement in shoot length and root length.
