Abstract

Seed germination with or without seed coats, their seedlings growth and rooting performance of leafy branch cuttings of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. were studied. In seed germination, seeds with coats showed higher success (68%) but seed coat delayed germination by limiting water absorption in dormant seeds. Higher growth was found in seeds with coat both in terms of height and diameter of seedlings. In case of rooting of branch cuttings, use of 0.8% IBA showed the highest rooting success (90%) with more root number (30) than control where rooting success and root number were 60% and 15, respectively. Difference was not found among the average root length in control and treated cuttings.
