Abstract:
Assessment of Highest Germination Rate of Native Legume Tree SpeciesKeeping in view the present condition of deforestation and climate change in Pothwar, the study was conducted to evaluate fastest germinating seeds. This area receives a rainfall of 350-500 mm, annually. The temperature range of this locality ranges from 4o to 25o in winter, while in summer it rises to a range of 15o to 40o . The aim of the study focused on the germinating tree out of Acacia nilotica, Acacia modesta, Albizia lebbeck and Dalbergia sissoo, the species which gave maximum germinations is Acacia nilotica, followed by this Acacia modesta and Albizia lebbeck also showed good response to both controlled and pretreatment of seeds. Dalbergia sissoo seeds showed a slow germinating response as compared to the other three species. Key words: Seed germination improvement, legume tree species, Pothwar.
