  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD. A total of 50 bulbs were used for the germination percentage, while 10 bulbs were employed for measuring root length and weight gain. Statistical analysis indicated significant differences between groups, with means followed by different letters (a-d) in the same column representing differences at p < 0.05.
