Quercus leucotrichophora A.Camus (Banj oak) is one of the keystone species in the mid-elevation forests across western and central Himalaya. Its regeneration in many parts is reported to be poor due to low germination and seedling emergence. Present study aims to investigate the germination behaviour of Quercus leucotrichophora. Seeds were collected from 5 different sites and sown in polybags under open, poly-house and shade-net-house conditions. Seed germination started in 20 days and was completed in 92 days. Higher seed germination was observed in poly-house conditions (76.66%-82.66%) followed by shade-net-house conditions (68.23-76.66%), while, minimum germination was observed in seeds placed under open conditions (61.66%-74.33%). Mean Germination Time was found rapid in poly-house conditions (8.4-10.13) followed by shade-net house conditions (8.79-12.71) and open conditions (20.39-24.66). Among all the sites, higher germination was recorded for the seeds collected from the mid altitude regions (1300-1400 m asl). A significant positive correlation (P |
