Curry leaf extensively cultivated for its aromatic leaves throughout India. It is used in many of Ayurvedic and Yunani prescriptions. Its leaves, roots and bark are credited with tonic, stomachic and carminative properties. Currently, gibberellic acid (GA3), an environmentally friendly bio-regulator is widely used to enhance the seed germination of different crops. A experiment was conducted to enhance the seed germination using gibberellic acid (200 ppm) under different environmental conditions (Shadenet house, poly house, mist chamber, open field and polybags) at Institute of Agriculture, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Kumulur during 2021. The following observations were recorded viz., germination percentage (%), Number of leaves (Nos.), Shoot length (cm) and Root length (cm). The study was concluded that, mist chamber conditions promote seed germination very well than any other environmental conditions. Following mist chamber, shade net and polyhouse raised seedlings performed very well.
