Here are five short germination tips for Desmodium gangeticum seeds:
- Scarification – Lightly rub seeds with sandpaper or nick the seed coat to enhance water absorption.
- Hot Water Soaking – Soak seeds in warm water (50–60°C) for 12–24 hours to break dormancy.
- Sowing Depth – Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep in well-draining soil, preferably sandy or loamy.
- Moisture & Temperature – Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature of 25–30°C.
- Light & Shade – Provide indirect sunlight or partial shade for optimal seedling growth.
