The study consisted of 6 combination treatments of Ethrel and GA3 hormones with 1 control treatment. Observational data were analyzed using the F test at 5% level (ANOVA) and the BNJ test at 5% level. The results showed that treatment E1 (ethrel 100 ppm) was the treatment with the highest average value on the variable plant height difference. Treatment G2 (GA3 100 ppm) gave better results on the variable amount difference. Treatment E2 (ethrel 200 ppm) gave the best results on the variable seed weight in flowers per floret. The control seed quality variable gave the best results on the variable germination and germination speed.
