Abstract
Germination respone to sulfuric acid treatment, temperature, light and underwater condition were experimented for Albizzia julibrissin Durazz. seed. It took 60 minutes to break the dormancy of impermeable seed for the effective sulfuric acid treatment, and temperature sensitivity was decreased by 90 minutes' treatment. The germination rate of the seed was highest, i.e. 96% at 60 minutes acid treatment in a 21。C growth chamber. On the occasion of light sensitivity, the seed was light indifferent. The imbibition rate of seed was higher at 27。C than 21。C and in proportion to the period of acid treatment time. A. julibrissin Durazz. seed were well germinated at underwagter condition.
