NATURAL SEED GERMINATION STUDIES OF ENDEMIC AND ENDANGERED TREE SPECIES OF SHOREA TUMBUGGAIA ROXB OF TIRUMALA HILLS
Dr. R. Vinolya Kumari*
Abstract
The distribution of Shorea tumbuggaia is very important endemic and
endangered globally threaten plant of sheshachallum hills. It is very
useful for its timber, medicine and pharmaceutical properties. The
present work is aimed to develop protocol for invivo seed germination
method for rapid and large scale propagation by using seeds. In S.
tumbuggaia the fruit infestation was 70%but seedling production is
was 0.01%. By using nursery techniques, forest soils and
vermicompost. The germination and survival rate is increased to 4-
56%.
