Abstract

The study investigated effect of different growing soil media on seed germination and growth of Tamarind as influenced by seed dormancy breaking approaches was conducted at Nursery Unit of Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Federal University Dutsin-Ma. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with two factors, factorial arrangement having four replications. Data were recorded for days of seed emergence, germination percentage, number of leaves (NL), leaf area (LA), wet and dry matter weight. Seeds mechanically scarified (MS), sowed in top soil (S1) (S1MS) and seeds treated with 60 concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid (H2SO4) for 10 minutes (A10) and sowed in S1 (S1A10), MS sowed in river sand (S2) (S2MS), seeds treated with A10 and sowed in S2 (S2A10), MS sowed in top soil plus river sand plus manure (S3) (S3MS) and seeds treated with A10 and sowed in S3 (S3A10) germinated first 5 days after sowing (DAS), while control 9 DAS.
