Description
This book presents a scientific investigation into the effects of different pre-treatment methods on the germination and seedling growth of Mimosa pigra Linn. and Kigelia africana Lam., two ecologically significant tropical plant species. Poor germination is a common limitation in forestry and agroforestry programs involving these species.
Through a series of laboratory and field experiments, the author evaluates physical, chemical, and biological methods to break seed dormancy and enhance early seedling vigor. The results provide valuable insight for botanists, ecologists, horticulturists, and students engaged in plant propagation, reforestation, or conservation efforts.
This work contributes to improved afforestation strategies in degraded landscapes and supports biodiversity conservation goals, particularly in tropical Africa.
