  1. Group I: Control, Group II: 465 mg/L GSE, Group III: 930 mg/L GSE, Group IV: 100 mg/L KBrO3, Group V: 100 mg/L KBrO3 + 465 mg/L GSE, Group VI: 100 mg/L KBrO3 + 930 mg/L GSE. Values are shown as mean ± SD. 50 bulbs were used for germination percentage and 10 bulbs were used for root length and weight gain. The averages shown with different letters (a-d) in the same column are significant at p < 0.05. GP: germination percentage, RIR: relative injury rate.
