Variation in Acacia senegal Seed size and Germination Collected from Different Regions of Rajasthan

Abstract

Acacia senegal is common in Rajasthan and its seeds are used in Panchkutta vegetable. It is good for fencing and also on bunds fencing. Seeds from different locations were collected and their seed size and other parameters were studied. Its germination in laboratory with different treatments as well as with different concentrations of Growth regulators was studied. Results shows that seed size varies with different locations even in same districts also. However there is no correlation with germination behavior. Phenological study and reproductive biology of seeds need to be studied in details.
