| Popis: | Limitations against propagation of Cola nitida include pronounced dormancy of between 1 and 8 months after sowing (MAS) leading to uneven germination and seedling growth. This experiment was conducted in a screenhouse, Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta, Nigeria, to evaluate the effects of mini-nut and nut-color on germination and seedling growth of C. nitida nuts. The experiment was in a completely randomized design replicated 3 times. Treatments comprised two factors: nut/seed-colored biotype (white, pink, and red) and mini-nut (embryonic portion of cotyledon) [excised embryonic portion cotyledon (EEPC), 25% embryonic portion cotyledon (EPC), 50% EPC, 75% EPC, and 100% EPC (whole nut/seed)], giving 15 treatment combinations sown in plastic cups of 50 cl filled with sawdust. Germination percentage and morphological growth of plantlets (plant height (cm), number of leaves, dry matter yield (g/plant)) were monitored; data subjected to analysis of variance and mean comparisons done (p ≤ 0.05... |
