Opis

it is one of the most exquisite and valuable fruits of the tropics. Guava has earned the popularity as poorman's apple available in plenty to every person at very low price during the season There are various limiting factors related to production and productivity of guava and one of them is low quality planting material.Seed propagation is important specially in hybridization as well as for raising of rootstocks. The germination of guava seeds is uncertain due to hard seed coat which results in poor germination. Therefore, an attempt was made to minimize germination period as well as to improve germination capability of guava seeds through certain seed treatments, viz., water soaking, hot water soaking, acid treatments, use of GA3 and thiourea in variety of sardar (L-49) guava under Akola conditions of Maharastra.This publication will be useful to the students, scientists and growers .
