Abstract

The study was undertaken with different germination media like; sand, soil, vermiculite, perlite, soilrite, cocopeat and compost either alone or in combination under semi controlled conditions with an objective to find their effect on the germination percentage, germination value and seedling growth of Santalum album L. The study revealed that, media containing either pure sand or pure vermiculite or Cocopeat with Vermiculite, Charcoal and neemcake in 10:6:3:1 ratio favoured high germination percentage and germination value as compared to other treatments. As such, effect of germination media on seedling growth was not observed. Any one of these three media can be used for the improved seed germination of S. album based on the availability and convenience.
