Seed Germination and Seedling Performance in Avocado (Persea americana L.)

Venkata Rao, Venkatesha S C & Priyanka Hugar · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2025

This study investigated the effect of various growth regulators and chemicals on the seed germination and seedling vigour of avocado (Persea americana Mill.). Given the short viability (2–3 weeks) and slow, uneven germination (40–60 days) of avocado seeds, which challenge large-s...
