Abstract: | The present study embodies data on phonology of flowering, fruiting and other seed characteristics of Bixa ordlanaL. Various methods such as chemical scarification, mechanical scarification with sand paper, temperature and hot water treatment were used to improve the seed germination. Out of these, scarification with concentrated sulphuric acid (I bSC^) for 15 minutes resulted in 93% germination. Soil depth of 2 cm loamy soil and alternate day watering were found to be very effective in the germination of the seeds. |
