1. To study the imbibition and germination of seeds of Leucaena glauca, various experiments were conducted. 2. It was observed on the basis of preliminary laboratory tests that germination was 1 to 2 per cent and there was seed coat dormancy. 3. Mechanical and acid scarifications of seeds have helped the growing radicle to emerge out of hard seed testa. 4. Once the seed coat is abraded and thus open space is provided to radicle, they germinate fully under all the tried conditions of light (i) intensities (ii) quality (iii) ultra violet radiations and (iv) temperature.
