| Description |
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) is one of the important tree spices of Kerala. Though commercial propagation of nutmeg is by vegetative method, saplings raised from seeds are important for rootstock purposes. The seeds after extraction are sown either immediately or not later than 3-4 days (Khandekar et al., 6). However, the germination of nutmeg seeds is reported to be low (40-50%). Seeds treated with growth regulators had shown increased germination in nutmeg (Mathew, 7). Besides growth regulators, rooting media also play a vital role in seed germination and seedling growth of nutmeg.
