Seeds of Aeluropus lagopoides (L) Trin ex Thw, Andropogon scoparius Michx., Bothriochloa pertusa (L) A. Camus, Cenchrus ciliaris Linn, Chrysopogon serrulatus Trin, Chloris gayana Kunth, Demostachya bipinnata (L) Stapf, Dichanthium annulatum (Forssk) Stapf., Hyparrhenia rufa (Nees) Stapf, Panicum antidotale Retz, Pennisetum americanum (L) Sch., Sorghum almum (Piper) Parodi, Sporobolus helvolus (Trin) Dur & Schinz and S. arabicus Briss tested for germination at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35C without any treatment revealed that most of the grasses germinated better at 25 and 30C than at other temperature tried. Removing the glumaceous coatings or soaking the seeds in distilled water for 1 hour enhanced germination at 25 and 30 C. However, acid scarification or alternate wetting and drying did not improve the germination at the same temperatures.
