Abstract:This study was conducted in field at Mandhana of Rama University during February 2022 to may 2022 to study the effect of NAA on growth and yield attributing characteristics of chilli
. There were 8 treatments and 3 replications laid out in Randomized Block Design.
These were applied as basal application of fertilizer in this experiment
. The treatment are T
1, T
2, T
3, T
4, T
5, T
6, T
7, T
8 as control NAA@ 10 ppm, NAA@ 20 ppm, NAA@ 30 ppm, NAA@ 40 ppm, NAA@ 50 ppm, NAA@ 60 ppm NAA@ 70 ppm respectively.
NAA at different concentrations were applied exogenously to the chilly cultivar Pusa Jwala.
The plant height of plants was measured correctly and recorded in which the treatment of T
7 was highest at 120DAT (131
.25 cm)
. Similarly, NAA T
7 treatment was maximum number of leaves per plants
. The total number of leave were found highest in T
7 @ NAA 60 ppm was 9
.52 and followed by T
4, T
5 respectively.
Likewise, maximum number of flower was also recorded in treatment T
7 that was 32.81.
The size and weight of fruit was also gives the best performance at treatment T7. The yield per hectare was 32.56t/ha which was highest yield among other treatment. It revealed that application of different dose of NAA on chilly was found to be statistically significant.
