Abstract: Protocol for in vitro seed germination of Semecarpus anacardium has been promoted in the present study. The collected seeds were surface sterilized and soaked in distilled water containing 0.1% GA3 for about 7 days. Such treated seeds were transferred on paper bridges of 0.5 % GA3 containing distilled water. These seeds germinated after 15 days of culture with 90% of response. The seedlings were transferred to field and some allowed in in vitro for further growth and then they were transferred to pots and field conditions after one month.
