Mean percent seed germination inhibition of HCCAO and HCCRO.

S. No.	Sample Name	% Inhibition of Seed Germination
	Essential Oil	50 µL/mL	100 µL/mL	150 µL/mL	200 µL/mL
1.	HCCAO	36.00 ± 2.00 ab	51.66 ± 0.57 c	78.66 ± 1.52 fg	92.00 ± 2.00 h
2.	HCCRO	47.66 ± 2.51 b	61 ± 1.00 d	73.33 ± 2.08 ef	96.33 ± 1.52 h
3.	Pendimethalin *	100 ± 0.00	100 ± 0.00	100 ± 0.00	100 ± 0.00

*—Standard herbicide; HCCAO—Hedychium coccineum aerial part essential oil; HCCRO—Hedychium coccineum rhizome part essential oil; values are means of three replicates ± SD; SD—standard deviation. Within a column, mean values followed by the same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).
