摘要：Withania somnifera, popularly known as Aswagandha has an immense value in Ayurveda. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the Effect of different elicitors on the photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant activities of Withania somnifera. Methods: The seeds of W. somnifera were subjected to elicitors before sowing. Both the controlled as well as treated plants were subjected to various biochemical analysis using standard methods. Results & conclusion: The chlorophyll, carotenoid, phenol, flavonoid, proline contents were found to be higher in elicitor treated plants compared to control. Among those treated with elicitor, plants treated with Pseudomonas flourescens showed the great increase in the phenolic and flavonoid contents, proving it to be a better elicitor
