Seventy-five seeds were gathered from fifty matured fruits. The seeds were divided into three which serve as the replication, then they were subdivided into five to represent the five treatments. The seeds were washed thoroughly to remove the remaining fibers and flesh on the seeds. Seeds were treated accordingly. Seeds treated for 24 hours in 2% nitric acid represent Tos seeds soaked for 15 minutes in hot water- Tas refrigerated seeds- Ty» while seeds treated for 24 hours in 1% sulfuric acid- T55 and thos untreated seeds represented the control which is designated by Ty A soil media of 1/3 garden soil and 2/3 fine sand was used in this study. Seeds were sown with one centimeter depth. It was noted in this study that seeds treated with hot water, 2% nitric acid and 1% sulfuric acid emerged significantly earlier at 23.33, 24.60, and 24.20 days respectively. Also, it was observed that seeds treated with tT, (hot water), T, ( 2# nitric acid), and tT. (1% sulfuric acid gave higher percentage germination at 53.33 compared to T, (control) at only 26.67%. Regarding the height of the seedling, it was noted that treatments 5, 3, and 2 were significantly higher at 7.1, 5.37, and 4.30 centimeters compared to qT, at only 1.96 centimeters. It was also observed that seedlings in treatments 3, 4, and 2 were significantly greater in number of leaves. The stem diameter of the mangosteen seedling was not significantly affected by the different seed treatments.

Seventy-five seeds were gathered from fifty matured fruits. The seeds were divided into three which serve as the replication, then they were subdivided into five to represent the five treatments.

The seeds were washed thoroughly to remove the remaining fibers and flesh on the seeds. Seeds were treated accordingly.

Seeds treated for 24 hours in 2% nitric acid represent Tos seeds soaked for 15 minutes in hot water- Tas refrigerated seeds- Ty» while seeds treated for 24 hours in 1% sulfuric acid- T55 and thos untreated seeds represented the control which is designated by Ty
