ABSTRACT
The study analyzed the influence of shade and temperature in germination and early growth rate of Bombax buonopozense P. Beauv. A total of 300 seeds were collected of which 50 seeds were sown in each treatment plot. Also 300 polypots of 3kg were obtained, filled with topsoil from which 50 pots each were sent to the different treatment plots. For the site preparation, three different light shades were selected. Two of the sites (forest gap and dense shade) were located in the Arboretum while the third site (open shade) was located in the nursery of the Department of Forest Resources and Wildlife Management, University of Benin, Benin City. The open shade was divided into three temperature and light conditions; one plot was covered with black cellophane while another was covered with white cellophane. Thus six germination conditions/treatments were created for this study.
