Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted in the laboratory of Seed Science & Technology, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Various trees of Tecomella undulata were selected according to characters of economic interest. There were 15 locations selected on the desirable interest and sufficient amount of samples (pods or seeds) were collected from that tree species. Seed quality parameters of all the collected samples such as seed length seed width, teat weight and seed colour were recorded and then these selected material was taken under the specific environmental conditions of laboratory for further testing of germination, moisture and vigour etc. Maximum standard germination percentage, moisture content, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index I and vigour index II was recorded for ATU14 (69.34%), ATU12 (5.77%), ATU12 (10.24 cm), ATU9 (484.85 mg), ATU12 (710.09) and ATU12 (33450.23), respectively. Most of the characters were superior in ATU12 trees which belonging to the samples from Ghanghu, Churu (Rajasthan). Hence we concluded that samples from these location’s trees can be utilize in the improvement of the breeding material and further used for development of new varieties.
