Abstract

Madhuca longifolia L ( Family : Sapotaceae)is a medicinal and economic important tree. This study was carried out to know the effect of pretreatment on seed germination and seedling growth parameters of size graded M. longifolia seeds viz. large, medium and small. The result shows that the large and medium sized seeds treat with tap water is significantly increased the germination and seedling growth compared to control and other treatments.
