| Experiment Title | Dormancy and germination investigations in Melia dubia Cav. | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Research | ||
| Experiment Background | Melia dubia (Syn. Melia composita), commonly known by its trade name ‘Malabar Neem’ is a tall and straight native tree of moist localities and topical forests distributed to eastern Himalaya, Assam, Khasi hills and Western Ghats (Troup,1921). M. dubia has gain the recognition as a fast growing, industrially as well as medicinally important multipurpose tree species in the recent years. M. dubia is generally propagated through seeds. Although uniform germination of seed with good magnitude and vigour is necessary for the production of uniform planting stock for large scale plantation programs, germination of M. dubia is reported to be very poor in nursery condition, ranging from 7-38% (Nair et al. 2005; Anand et al. 2012). Keeping in view, this study is proposed to find out the causes of poor germination. | ||
