Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The study on maturity indices of Aesculus indica seeds was conducted under temperate Kashmir conditions. Seed collection started from 15th July and continued till the maturation of seeds in the month of December. The seeds were harvested fortnightly from identified trees and on each collection date maturity parameters viz. seed colour, seed weight, moisture content, seed dimension, specific gravity, and germination percentage were recorded. The study revealed that at the time of maturity (Nov-Dec) the seed colour is shiny chocolate brown, having a moisture content of 58.37 per cent and a specific gravity of 0.82. Germination percentage was maximum (80%) at its maturity with maximum seed weight of 52.03g/seed. Besides the seeds should be collected before their natural disposal.
