Abstract
Data are presented on the rate and percent germination of freshly extracted as well as one year old passion fruit seeds (Passi-flora edulis, Sims) stored at room temperature (Mysore). Figures for fruit weight, fruit composition, seed number, seed weight etc., are given Seeds were sown by randomized block system, in seed beds in triplicate, each bed containing. 100 seeds in 10 rows. In the case of fresh seeds, the germination commenced within 12–15 days’ of the date of sowing, and was complete within another fortnight, the percent germination ranging from about 70–95% while the comparative figures for the one year old seeds were only 23–36% and their rate of germination also much slower. Soaking of seeds in hot water overnight did not materially help in the rate and percent germination. The plants’ came to bearing in about a year. The fruit born were of very good quality. It has been indicated that passion fruit can be successfully grown under Mysore conditions.
