Effect of Growth Regulators and Growing Media on Seed Germination of Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana)

The present investigation was carried out at Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, during the period 2023. The experiment was laid in completely randomized block design with 11 treatments and was replicated three times. Berc.v. Gola Ber were collected from Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science, Praygaraj. Seeds were Germinate in polybags. Seeds were soaked for 12 hours in both Ga3. The treatment T10 Soil + FYM + VC + PM (1:1:1:1) + GA3 @150ppm (Seed soaked for 12 hours) registered significantly maximum vegetative growth, Germination Percenatge % Stem diameter (mm). On the basis of our experimental finding it can be concluded that the best result was found in treatment T11 Soil + FYM +VC + PM (1:1:1:1) + IBA @50 ppm (Seed soaked for 12 hours) in term of vegetative growth parameters viz., plant height (cm), Number of leaves per plant Survival Percenatge %, leaf area (cm2) and, chlorophyll content of Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana) c.v. Gola ber.
