The effects of time of harvesting the seeds and the interval of sowing the same on germination was investigated in Garjan. Higher germination (95%) was obtained from the earlier harvests, as well as, early sowings. Much variation in germination was observed, even with seeds from the same collection, when the seeds were sown at different intervals of time. Only 15 to 19 percent seeds germinated when sown after 30 days of harvest.
