Effect of Different Treatments on Germination of Machilus pauhoi Seed

Experiments were conducted on germination of Machilus pauhoi seed treated by different substrates, soaking in different solution, treated with different temperature and different storage time. The results showed that germination rate topped 75.2% on pearlite. Seeds soaked in 100mg/L GGR had germination rate of 18.8% in the 25th day. Seed treated with constant 25℃ had faster germination, especially in the 20th and 25th day, germination rate was 3-4 times than that treated with the local standard for temperature. Storage time had evident effect on germination rate. Seed without storage had germination rate of 75.2%, while with storage of 10 and 20 days at 0-5℃ had 52.4% and 27.6%.
