Overview

Experimental study demonstrates that gibberellic acid soaking accelerates germination and vigor in polyembryonic mango seeds, indicating an optimal method for commercial rootstock propagation.

Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy of various pre-sowing physical and chemical seed treatments on the germination kinetics and early seedling development of polyembryonic mango.
Assessed six pre-sowing treatments on mango seeds: intact control, distilled water soaking (24 h), hot water soaking (60°C for 30 min), and gibberellic acid (GA₃) soaking at 100, 200, or 300 ppm for 24 h.
Monitored germination dynamics (days to initial, 50%, and complete germination), cumulative germination rates over 40 days, and seedling morphological parameters.
Treatment with 300 ppm GA₃ yielded the fastest germination response (initial: 16 days, 50%: 28 days, completion: 34 days) and reached 100% germination by day 40 (26.67% at day 20 and 66.67% at day 30).
Seeds treated with 300 ppm GA₃ produced the highest seedling height (32.4 cm), stem diameter (5.9 mm), and leaf count (5.5 leaves per seedling), whereas pre-sowing treatments had no significant effect on taproot length.
