An Approach to Ensure Year Round Availability of Germinating Seeds of <I>Cassia tora</I> for Industrial Application

Abstract

Cassia tora seeds were subjected to four different pre-treatments and different incubation temperatures. Seeds treated with conc. sulphuric acid were found to be best of the pretreatments. Increase in speed and capacity of seed germination was achieved by incubating seeds at higher temperature in comparison to lower temperatures.
