ABSTRACT
Seeds obtained from eleven families of Cedrus deodara pretreated with gibberallic acid, hydrogen peroxide and control were tested for germination in the laboratory Highly significant differences were observed among the families, treatments and their interactions. The results suggest that in hormonal control of dormancy, gibbere Uric acid plays a primary role in regulation of germination.
Keywords: Cedrus deodara, germination, gibberellic acid.
