Agro Ecological Zone	Eastern Ghats (Tamil Nadu uplands and south eastern sahayadris) and Deccan plateau, hot semiarid eco-sub region (8.1) ,Southern Plateau and Hills region (X),Western zone (TN-3)
Other Community Practices	"Treatments included KNO3 with concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 percent, immersion in hot water for five min, acetylsalicylic acid 100, 200, and 300 mg L−1, ethereal sulfuric acid (60%) for 5 and 10 min, thiourea with concentrations of 0.1% and 0.3%, and prechilling for 10 days. Tap water was used as the control. Our findings indicate that KNO3 0.1% and 100 mg L−1 acetylsalicylic acid were the most effective treatments for improvement of seed germination properties in this species. In a comparison of the two mentioned treatment, KNO3 0.1% treatments is the best."[AsgharFarajollahi, BahramGholinejad, HamedJonaidiJafari, "Effects of Different Treatments on Seed Germination Improvement of Calotropispersica", Advances in Agriculture, vol. 2014, Article ID 245686, 5 pages, 2014. https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/245686]
