Pre-sowing Treatments Impact on the Germination of Three Melia species (Melia Azeadarch, Melia composita and Melia dubia)

A nursery experiment was carried out to study germination rate of three different Melia species at the Division of Agroforestry, experimental farm at Sher-e-Kashmir, University of Agricultural Science and Technology, Chatha, Jammu (UT). Three Melia species drupes (Melia azedarach, Melia composita and Melia dubia) were subjected to eight pre-sowing treatments. Analysis of the results revealed that Melia drupes treated with cow dung slurry for 30 days enhanced germination percentage and days to initial and final germination. Finding of the experiments showed that pre-sowing treatments was effective in enhancing germination and production of quality seedlings of Melia species.
