STUDIES ON DESERT TEAK SEEDS

Abstract

Investigations were carried out in the pods and seeds of desert teak, Tecomella undulata at the Regional Research Station, Kovilangulam, to study the pod morphological characters and to assess the stage of pod harvest for seed collection. Colour change of pod from yellow to brown can be taken as a reliable index for pod harvest. Fresh seeds are readily germinable and seeds from apical and middle region possess high seedling vigour compared to distal region.
