چکیده
A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of aqueous extracts of some herbal plant leaves viz. bael (Aegle marmelos), amla (Phyllanthus emblica), beleric myrobalan (Terminalia belerica), arjuna (Terminalia arjuna), neem (Azadiracta indica), horitoki (Terminalia chebula) and water (as control) with three replications on germination and seedling growth of three vegetables namely turnip (Brassica rapa), spinach (Beta vulgaris) and ladies finger (Hibiscus esculentus). Aqueous extract of Terminalia arjuna significantly increased germination and growth of turnip and ladies finger while germination and growth in spinach were found to be increased with the treatment of aqueous extract of Terminalia belerica in comparison with control. Aqueous extract of Azadiracta indica inhibited the germination percentage as well as growth of turnip and ladies finger. Inhibitory effect of Terminalia chebula was also observed on the growth of ladies finger.
