Pinus gerardiana Wall. is an important nut-producing pine having restricted distribution in the world.
It has been observed that natural regeneration in the species is extremely poor or entirely lacking.
The species has erratic and infrequent seed years, dormancy-related problems, and slow growth of
seedling, which reduces its regeneration process in natural habitats. Therefore, we investigated the
effect of growing medium and seed size on germination and seedling growth of the Pinus
gerardiana. The seeds were categorized into two sizes, viz, small (2.35 cm)
and five growing medium treatments were used, viz, Soil:Sand:FYM; Soil:Sand:Moss:FYM; Soil:Moss:
Vermicompost; Soil:Sand:Vermicompost; and Soil:Sand:Moss:Vermicompost, for assessing their
impact on germination and seedling growth. It was observed that, among different growing
medium treatments, higher germination and seedling growth parameters were recorded, when
Soil:Sand:Moss:Vermicompost was used for the study. Between different seed sizes, higher
germination and seedling growth were recorded when seed size was large.
