“…Lavendula dentate seeds treated with gibberellic acid at 1000 ppm showed maximum germination of 67 % as compared to the control which did not exceed 1 percent. The present finding is in agreement with the results obtained by Bhuyar et al, (2000), Ponkumar et al, (2008), Hussain and Jha (2014), Anonymous (2017) and Phatak et al, (2017) in Sarpagandha. The similar results were reported by Bhujbal (1975), Dhankhar and Kumar (1996) and Gholap et al, (2000) in Aonla, Bhuse et al, (2001) in Senna and Mithra and Ghosh (2004) in Ashwgandha.…”
