Authors

Abstract
Survival and development of a plant depends upon successful seed germination. The effect of seasons or seasonal influence on germination and survivability percentage of Terminalia tomentosa were studied. In the initial trials, no germination was recorded with depulped (removal of exocarp) dried seeds through mechanical scarification. Before heaped on sand bed, the healthy dried seeds were soaked in water for 24-48 hrs. Maximum germination phase (imbibition period) seed germination percentage during summer and survivability percentage of saplings were recorded high in rainy season. No germination was recorded in winter. During the study period, less than 50% of seed germination was noticed.
