Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the effect of different seed germination enhancer on seed germination behavior of different temperate vegetable seeds in invivo conditions. In case of radish, maximum seed germination percentage at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm), maximum emerging shoot length at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm), maximum emerging root length at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃@50ppm) and maximum seed germination vigour at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm). In case of carrot, maximum seed germination percentage at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₃(GA₃ @20ppm), maximum emerging shoot length at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm), maximum emerging root length at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃@50ppm) and maximum seed germination vigour at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm). In case of pea, maximum seed germination percentage at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm), maximum emerging shoot length at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm), maximum emerging root length at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm), maximum seed germination vigour at 8^th day of seed treatment could be observed in T₄ (GA₃ @50ppm).
