Abstract
A germination experiment was made to determine the effect of reagents, concentrations of the reagents and soaking time on the seed germination percentage of three Brachiaria sp. It turned out that the treatments made difference in germination. For B. dictyonera, the seeds immersed into the solution of concentrated sulfuric acid for 15 minutes and potassium nitrate(100 g/L)for 6 hours led to over 72% and 76% of germnation; For B. decumbens, the seeds soaked into the solution of concentrated sulfuric acid for 15 minutes resulted in over 76% of germination; For B. ruziziensis, the optimal treatment was to treat the seeds with 30% hydrogen peroxide solution for 30 minutes, which contributed to 72% of germination. It was concluded that the seed germination percentage of the three Brachiaria sp could be improved by seed treatments.
