Abstract
In view of the carbon sequestration potential of Albizia saman, commonly known as Trembesi tree. Increase in land cover and carbon trading were key objectives. Seeds of trembesi tree were tested for viability and sustainability for sub-tropical broad leave evergreen forest environment of Pakistan in comparison with Acacia nilotica. The seeds were applied pretreatments to enhance the growing process and testing of the viability in the respective environment. Secondly the effect of magnetic water was also recorded. Both the species were given similar treatment and growing environment. Acid scarification method (conc.H2SO4) and controlled treatments were applied to both the species. The observed results were not much deviated from each other. However, the Acacia nilotica was evaluated more susceptible than that of the trembesi tree.
Keywords: Albizia saman, Acacia nilotica, seed pretreatments, magnetic water, germination.
