germination in petri dishes and poly bags of different
weeks and assessed according to International Seed
provenances of Acacia nilotica ssp. indica is presented
Testing Association rules (ISTA, 1985). A seed was
in Table 4 to 7. The mean germination under all the
counted germinated when the radicle protruded 2
treatments was 34.67%. Maximum germination of
mm beyond the seed coat. The different parameters
57.44% was recorded in control and minimum of
of seed germination like, germination percentage
11.37 % in 15 EC. Mean daily germination, peak value
(GP), mean daily germination (MDG), number of
of germination and germination were minimum in
days to complete the germination or germination
higher salinity as compared to lower salinity. The no.
time (GT), peak value of germination (PV) and
of days to complete germination was maximum with
germination value (GV) were determined. After
higher salinity than lower salinity. Among different
recording above observation the data was analysed
provenances, Akola, Khandwa and Jaipur had higher
stastical and biometrical tools.
