Citrus seed being recalcitrant seed, 100 per cent germination is difficult under the field condition. In the hydroponic technique of seed germination, Rangpur Lime germination started after 13 days with the germination percentage of 98.9 per cent as compared to 21.4 per cent in the field condition which germinated after 30-35 days after sowing. This experiment proved to be cheap and better seed germination for the citrus seed, which could be used for the seed propagation for raising ischolar_mainstock.
