The invention relates to a method for accelerating germination of carya illinoensis seeds in late winter and early spring, belonging to the technical field of fruit tree and forest cultivation. The method comprises the steps of: 1) collecting seeds and removing impurities; 2) soaking the seeds in 3% of potassium permanganate solution for 30min for sterilization; 3) soaking the seeds in cold water for 5 days; 4) laminating and storing in sand at low temperature; 5) soaking the seeds by hormone: soaking the seeds in 500mg/L of GA3 (gibberellic acid), 50mg/L of IBA (indolebutyric acid) and 50mg/L of 6-BA (6-benzyl aminopurine) for 24 hours; 6) treating in a high-voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) with intensity of 30KV/cm for 1 hour; and 7) accelerating germination and sowing, and counting the germination rate after a month, wherein the germination rate is above 96%. By using the method, the sowing of the seeds is brought forward by more than 2 months and significance is brought to the seedling culture of the carya illinoensis.
