	abstract = "Studies were conducted on seeds of three bamboo species,<I> viz</I>.,<I> Dendrocalamus membranaceus</I> ,<I> D. strictus</I> and<I> Bambusa nutans</I>, to determine a combination of conditions ensuring the most regular, rapid and complete germination under laboratory conditions. The seeds were sown at different combinations of incubation temperatures (20, 25, 30, 35, 40&#176;C and 20&#150;30&#176;C) and sowing media (top of paper, between paper and sand). Seeds were also sown in the presence and absence of light at 30&#176;C on top of paper. The ideal conditions for testing seeds of all the three species were found to be 30&#176;C, top of paper and preferably presence of light.",
