An investigation was carried out to find out chemicals to improve germination of Pusa Early Dwarf strawberry. The germination of seeds at room temperature (31–33°C) was 31.5 per cent. Treating the seeds with 0.25 per cent nitric acid resulted in the highest germination (58.5 per cent) followed by 24 hours soaking of seeds in hydrogen peroxide (55.5 per cent) out of 19 treatments.
