Abstract
The effect of different periods (10-50 hrs) of soaking at different concent rations (100-500 ppm) of kinetin and nitrogenous salts on the germination o f pods of Pterocarpus santalinus (red sanders) was studied. Generally 400 p pm resulted in the maximum percentage of germination in all imbibition peri ods except soaking of pods for 10 hrs at 500 ppm of kinetin which resulted in highest germination (80%). However, the germination percentage was decre ased with increased duration of soaking at 500 ppm concentration.
