Some biostimulants can be employed to increase metabolic efficiency and thus improve germination. The effect of the biostimulants usually depends on the type of biostimulant, its concentration and the plant species. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different biostimulants at varying doses on radish germination and early growth properties. In study factorial treatments of four biostimulants [fulvic acid (FA), amino acid (AA), chitosan oligosaccharide (CO) and seaweed extract (SWE)] and four levels of biostimulants (FA: 2.5-40 mg/100 ml; AA: 0.5-8 mg/L; CO: 2.5-40 mg/100 ml; SWE: 2.5-40 mg/100 ml) were evaluated. In the control group, seeds were treated with distilled water and the effect of biostumulnat doses was compared with control group. The experiment was conducted in a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design (CRD) with three replicates consisted of two petri dishes containing 100 seeds each. Germination percentage (GP), germination index (GI), mean germination time (MGT), time to 50% germination (T50), mean germination rate (MGR), coefficient of variation of germination time (CVt), vigor index (VI), peak value (PV), hypocotyl length, sprout length, stem diameter and sprout fresh weight were recorded
