Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Cold water pretreatment gave Afzelia seed germination of 33.33 to 53.33%.
- Intervention effect Cold water pretreatment reduced Afzelia seed dormancy period.
- Intervention effect Hot water pretreatment gave adverse Afzelia seed germination of 26.67 to 36.67%.
- Intervention effect Control seed germination did not differ significantly from the pretreatments.
- Intervention effect Acid pretreatment produced more uniform and regular Afzelia seed germination.
- Recommendation The authors recommend sulphuric acid pretreatment for higher germination and shorter dormancy.
