Abstract

In this study, the effects of habitat and pre-treatments on seed germination of Salvia mirzayanii were investigated. Seeds were collected from two main habitats (Sirmand and Tange-zagh) and were tested for pre-treatments as scarification, sulfuric acid (for 15 and 30 minutes) and warm water. Seeds were sown in Petri dishes for 14 days. This experiment was carried out in factorial design in CRD with 3 replications. It take placed in Agriculture Resource Research Center of Hormozgan Province in 2002.
According to the results, applying sulfuric acid for 15 minutes as pre-treatment on seeds that were collected from Sirmand had higher values of seed germination percent and germination rate. Vigor index of the seed samples that were collected from Sirmand was higher than those that were collected from Tange-zagh
