Effect of Giberellic Acid, Hot water, Fresh & Fermented Tomato Juice on the Germination of some Ficus Species Seeds
Keywords:
Ficus species, germination, Giberellic acid, fresh and fermented tomato juice.Abstract
Two separate experiments were carried out to study the effect of some pre-germination soaking treatments on seed germination of four different Ficus species including: Ficus benjamin, Ficus altissima, Ficus
