The fine variety of Hippophae rhamnoides L. was introduced from Russia. The 1000 seed weight of it was 17.75 g, which was two times greater than that of seeds of other seabuckthorn varieties. The seed viability, tested by TTC (10%), was 97.75% which was closed to germination rate under controlled germination condition (25℃), indicating that TTC could provide an reliable method for germination potential test for this variety. Germination tests were conducted to determine the effects of environmental temperatures (15, 20, 25℃ and 30℃) and light conditions (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) under suitable moisture and aeration, and radicle length and total biomass of young seedlings were used to evaluate seeds germination effects. The optimal temperature for seeds germination and early growth of seedlings was 25℃, with the germination energy, germination rate, radicle length, and total biomass of 33.0%±4.76%, 95.5% ±1.5%, (4.5±009) cm , and (0137±0.002) g, respectively. Light intensity also had a marked effect on the seeds germination and seedlings growth. The optimal light intensity for seed germination and seedling growth was 75%, with the germination energy, germination percentage, radicle length, and total biomass of 61.5%±1.7%, 86.0%±1.1%, (3.7±0.2) cm and (0.108±0004) g, respectively. Therefore, environmental conditions with temperature of 25℃ and light intensity of 75% full sunlight should be favored during direct seeding of this variety.
