An experiment was conducted at ICAR-NRC on Litchi, Muzaffarpur during 2018 to assess the effect of soaking of seed, orientation and depth of seed sowing on germination and seedling emergence in litchi. Result indicated that soaking of seed in water before sowing had improved seed germination in litchi. The maximum germination was found in GandakiLalima with 92.58% as compared to without soaking (62.75%).There was a significant reduction in seedling emergence with an increase in burial depth. Seeds sown at 1 cm depth showed the highest seedling emergence with an average percentage of 79.81.The highest seed germination was found in lay flat orientation when seeds were sown at the depth of 1 cm. Litchi seedling emergence was greatest and most rapid when seeds were sown 1 cm deep and positioned flat, on their sides. ICAR |
