Abstract :

The utilization of cucurbits potential is increasing day by day, as a result natural habitats of cucurbits are depleting at faster rate. It is found that plant may grow exclusively in certain habitat and may produce high biomass. To understand these behaviour germination studies are must.Inadequate scientific data is available about propagation and germination ofLuffa acutangula var. amara. This research work is carried to understand the process of germination of Luffa amara seeds by different methods.The present study deals with different physical, mechanical and chemical germination methods of Luffa amara. The maximum germination percentage is observed in seeds treated with 0.25M NaCl salt solution and it is about 91.60%. Though the germination percentage is 66.66, the initial vegetative growth is recorded highest in seeds treated with 0.050M salt solutions.
