Abstract

The present study was focused on the utilization of de-oiled Tree Borne Oil (TBO) seed cakes, a majorby-product in the bio diesel production process, as organic manure. The experiment was conducted to study the germinationpattern of pongamia (Pongamia pinnata) and rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) as influenced by the leachates of neem(Azadirachta indica) and pongamia seed cake in different concentration. The highest germination percentage (76.67 % and98.67 %), germination rate (2.24 and 9.50), peak value (2.63 and 10.97), mean daily germination (2.19 and 2.82), germinationvalue (5.77 and 30.92), seedling length (36.25 and 16.41), seedling vigour index (2779.14 and 1619.48) and survivalpercentage (100 % and 93.12 %) were observed in T6 (50 g of neem seed cake leachate) for pongamia and rosewood
