Abstract

The influence of plant growth regulators like gibberellic acid (GA3), indole butyric acid (IBA) and indole acetic acid (IAA) on red sanders (Pterocarpus santalinus) seed germination was studied. Gibberellic acid was found to be more effective in improving the seed germination in red sanders than either IBA or IAA.
