Abstract


Experiments were conducted in Stylosanthes scabru, an important forage crop to standardise the requirements at different temperature regimes viz constant temperatures of 20°C. 25°C and 30°C and altemate temperatures of 25 -30°C, 20-25°C and 10-20°C in 16-8 hours cycle in different germination media viz., roll towel, top of paper. sand and pleated paper. The experimental results showed that the ideal temperature and germination medium for the germination of Stylosanthes scabra seeds were 25-30°C and top of paper respectively
