Abstract
EFFECTS OF SOIL MIXTURE RATIOS AND SOWING DEPTHS ON SEED GERMINATION DYNAMICS IN DIPCADI ERYTHRAEUM UNDER IN-VIVO CONDITIONS
Anupama Sagar and Pawan K. Kasera*
ABSTRACT
The present investigation deals with in-vivo seed germination of Dipcadi erythraeum, an endangered and endemic species from the Indian Thar desert. Seeds were sown in different months, soil mixture ratios and sowing depths during 2015-16. Monthly data on germination percent and days to start germination were recorded in fresh and one-year-old seeds from January to July. Growth parameters were recorded after 90 days of setting the experiments in different soil mixture ratios and sowing depths. Since, D. erythraeum is an endangered and endemic medicinal plant with great pharmaceutical uses it is necessary to investigate these studies for large-scale cultivation of this plant. July was found to be most suitable month to grow this plant. Germination percentage was maximum at 1.5 cm depth with 1:1:2 soil mixture ratios of Sand:Clay:FYM. Values for germination percentage in different soil mixture ratios were significant at p<0.05 level.
