An investigation was carried out to study the effect of growthstimulants on seed germination and morpho-physiological attributes of seedlings in pungam (Pongamia pinnata). The growth regulators and chemicals used in this study were IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) (100 ppm), IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) (100 ppm), GA, (gibberellic acid) (100 ppm), KN (kinetin) (100 ppm), NAA (a-napthalene acetic acid) (100 ppm), ethrel (100 ppm), KC1 (1%), KNO3, (1%), ZnSO4 (1%), KH2PO4 (1%), FeSO4 (1%) and MgSO4 (1%). The seeds were soaked in the respective solutions for 12 h. Water-soaked seeds served as control. Seeds soaked in IBA (100ppm) gave high germination. IBA also enhanced the root length. GA3 (100 ppm) enhanced the shoot length, total leaf area, total dry weight and total chlorophyll content more than other treatments.
