 ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted during the year 2015-16 at Nursery of Biotechnology-cum- Tissue Culture Centre, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, India to study the effect of GA3 pre treatment (i.e. 100, 200, 300, 400 ppm) respectively and a control (without any treatment) on seedling growth in Aegle marmelos L. seeds. Seeds treated with GA3 at 400 ppm significantly enhanced the germination percentage (76.67 %),  plant height (16.00 cm) at 90 DAS, number of branches (3.33) and number of leaves (3.67). Hence it may be concluded that seeds pre-treated with GA3 at 400 ppm play an important for obtaining better quality seedlings of Aegle marmelos L. than control.

Keywords: Aegle marmelos, GA3, Germination, Seedling.
