The experiment was carried out to know the effect of different seed treatments on seedling growth parameters in sarpagandha. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with seven treatments, replicated thrice. Among the different seed treatments tested, GA3 (1000 mg L-1) treatment was found to be the best, recording earliness to reach four leaf stage, highest values for shoot and root length (10.99 and 7.06 cm, respectively) and vigour index (901.91). The GA3 treatment resulted in 39.06 per cent reduction in number of days to reach four leaf stage, 74.44 per cent increased shoot length, 15.93 per cent increased root length and 561.03 per cent increased vigour index over the control.
