In an effort to improve and promote the propagation of Indian blackberry [Syzygium cuminii (L.) Skeels] an experiment was conducted at COA- Ummedganj, Kota (Raj.) during the year 2019 and the effect of different pre-sowing seed treatments on seed germination was investigated. The experiment consisted of 14 treatments including control, water soaking for 12 hours and 24 hours, hot water soaking at 500 C for 15 and 30 min., soaking in the solutions of GA3 at 100 ppm, 150 ppm and 200 ppm, Thiourea at 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% and KNO3 at 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% respectively. The results indicated that all the seed treatments had significantly improved seed germination as compared to the control. Among different seed treatments, GA3 200 ppm (T7) was found significantly most effective and resulted in minimum days taken to initiation of seed germination (7.33 DAS), minimum days taken to 50 percent of seed germination (12.33 DAS), minimum span of seed germination (13.67 days), maximum germination percentage (89.33%), maximum germination rate index (72.99 %/day) and maximum coefficient of velocity of germination (75.10).
