dc.description.abstract	The effect of pre-sowing treatments on the germination and seedling vigour of nine month-old teak drupes was studied. The drupes, subjected to pre-sowing treatments were germinated under open and mist chamber conditions. Soaking and drying of drupes for 5 days at an interval of 12 hours followed by soaking in 1.5% Hydrogen peroxide solution recorded 47% and 52% germination under the open and mist chamber conditions as against 29% and 15% respectively in the control. In addition to enhanced germination in mist chamber, seedling emergence took place within 8-12 days as against 12-18 days under open condition.	en_US
