Influence of Shade and Bed Types on Attaining Optimum Temperature for The Germination of Peach (Prunus Persica L. Batsch) Seeds at Holetta, Central Ethiopia

Abstract: Poor germination of peach seeds is the major limiting factor for rootstock production under the Holetta condition because of the seed dormancy problem. Stratification plays an important role in shortening the dormancy and increasing the germination of peach seeds. The study aimed to find easy stratification techniques for the germination of peach seeds using shade and different bed types. The experiment was carried out at the Holetta Agricultural Research Center in two successive years of 2017 and 2018. We got… Show more

“…are known to be the limiting factor in stone fruit production in warm environments (Pinochet et al, 1996). Seeds of peach trees enter dormancy at the time of fruit harvest and seed germination is influenced by seed coat dormancy, inhibition of germination manifested with a hormonal nature and embryo dormancy and therefore, seeds need to be exposed to low temperature and moist environment which provide the stimulus required for overcoming dormancy, increase germination and produce normal seedlings (Setu et al, 2020). Therefore, seeds of all peach cultivars are unable to germinate under natural condition in subtropical plains of Northern India due to nonavailability of adequate chilling hours necessary for seed germination.…”
