Abstract
The influence of stratification on germination of Quercus leucotrichophora seeds under varying durations and media mixtures were studied. the seeds stratified for 75 days proved to be most effective in exhibiting the maximum germination per cent, germination energy and germination value under both laboratory and nursery conditions. The seeds stratified with Sand : FYM : Ban oak forest soil (2 : 2 : 1 v/v) surpassed all other stratifying media by achieving maximum germination under laboratory conditions. However, under nursery conditions, the maximum germination percentage was observed when the seeds were stratified with Sand : FYM in the ratio of 2 : 1
