  1. PT1: control; PT2: undiluted TPH; PT3: undiluted PPH; PT4: diluted TPH 1:10; PT5: diluted TPH 1:100; PT6: diluted TPH 1:1000; PT7: diluted PPH 1:10; PT8: diluted PPH 1:100; PT9: PPH 1:1000; GI: germination index. Different letters within each column indicate significant differences according to Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05). Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3).
