Abstract

The experiment was conducted at ASPEE Agricultural Research and Development Foundation Farm, Village Nare, Taluka Wada, District Thane, Maharashtra. In this study, the effects of different levels of exogenous application of Gibberelic acid (GA3) treatments on germination percentages and seedling plant height of drumstick seeds were studied. PKM-2 variety seeds were placed to the germination at the centre of bag about 6 cm depth from filled surface of filled media bags. The parameters of seeds germination percentages and seedling height studied indicated that the GA3 levels increased ultimately increasing the germination percentages and seedlings height than control treatment.
