EFFECT OF CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL SCARIFICATION ON GERMINATION OF LATHYRUS SEEDS Rajesh D. Gadewar1, Vandana S. Madke2 and Vipin B. Babhulkar3 1Sewadal Mahila Mahavidyalay and Research Academy, Nagpur. 2Department of Botany, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. 3Department of Agril. Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. ABSTRACT Five genotypes of Lathyrus were sown during 2015. The seeds after harvesting, threshing and processing were evaluated for their hardseedness dormancy. The findings of the present study indicate that concentrated sulphuric acid, hot water, sand scarification and hot air oven methods are e ffective for reducing hardseedness in Lathyrus. All the above mentioned treatments showed injuries effect to the seed embryo by increasing the dead seeds and abnormal seedlings except concentrated sulphuric acid treatment. In general concentrated sulphuric acid treatment for seconds have been found most effective for breaking seeds coat dormancy and also significantly highest germination pe rcentage compared to the above mentioned treatments undertaken in the present investigation.
