Title: Effect of seed priming treatments on germination and seedling vigour of custard apple (Annona squamosa).
Abstract: The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of seed priming on germination and seedling vigour of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) cv. Local, during 2014–2015 at Agricultural Experimetal Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Paria, Valsad, by using completly randomized design with 13 treatments. The seeds treated with GA3 @ 150 mg/litre minimized the days (18.00) taken for germination and improved the germination percentage (84.33%). Similar trend was observed in growth parameters, viz. seedling height (6.66, 10.91 and 17.05 cm), girth of plant (0.28, 0.37 and 0.48 cm), number of leaves (4.60, 7.72 and 15.16), leaf area (4.32, 7.63 and 14.39 cm2), fresh and dry weight of plant and survival percentage (75.97%).
