The research work was carried out to assess the effect of plant extracts on the seed germination of leguminous plants. Ocimum sanctum L. and Ocimum basilicum L. were selected for the extraction and different concentration series were prepared and the treatment was provided to the germinated seeds of Cicer arietinum L. and Vigna radiata L. In-vitro seed germination was carried out and the results obtained showed that as compare to control series plant extract treated series which showed better germination rate as well as better growth of primary roots and shoots. So, we can conclude that the Ocimun sanctum L. and Ocimum basilicum L. leaf aqueous extracts enhances the germination rate and promotes growth of roots and shoots up to certain concentration.
