Global warming is currently at the century peak with high temperature rise, draught, expanding deserts, scanty rainfall, drying up of lakes, ponds, rivers and underground water levels. Various species of insects, birds and animals are now either extinct or endangered. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are at alarming high rates causing threat to life on earth. Reforestation of earth is the only solution. We are only dependent on saplings to grow trees globally. Though there are lakhs of products in the market, there is no single ready to use product to grow trees. In this regard, Dr.Nagaveni Aspalli from Raichur Karnataka, India has developed a product called ‘Seed womb’. Seed wombs are ultraportable, scientific effective patent pending products to grow all varieties of plant species. They do not require daily watering, no digging pits required, does not get damaged by wind, heat and pests. They can be spread all round the year. Once rain water falls on it, germinataion and growth of seeds begins. This study is done to evaluate the rate of germination and growth of seeds in seed wombs, saplings, seed balls and plain seeds and to find out the best method to grow trees for afforestation and to demonstrate the potential solution for global warming and climate change.
