- Intervention effect Ethrel at 0.5% initiated Jatropha germination in five days, the least time reported.
- Intervention effect Water presoaking enhanced germination, with the first germinant after seven days.
- Intervention effect CaCl2 treatment produced 93.3% germinability, the highest reported.
- Intervention effect Water treatment produced 86.7% germinability, below CaCl2.
- Intervention effect GA3 at 25 ppm produced the maximum root to shoot ratio of 0.62.
- Intervention effect MnSO4 at 1% produced a root to shoot ratio of 0.54, below GA3.
- Recommendation The authors recommend overnight water soaking as an economical and farmer friendly way to enhance Jatropha germination.
