Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the kharif seasons of 2021 at farm of Botany section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice consisting eleven treatments i. e. Homobrassinolide (0.10 ppm, 0.20 ppm, 0.30 ppm, 0.40 ppm, 0.50 ppm, 0.60 ppm, 0.70 ppm, 0.80 ppm, 0.90 ppm and 1.00 ppm) Results revealed that foliar application of homobrassinolide sprayed at two stages i. e. 20 and 40 DAS significantly improved biochemical parameters like nitrogen content in leaves, protein content in seed, total chlorophyll content in leaves, and yield parameters like number of pods plant-1, test weight, seed yield plant^-1, plot^-1 and hectare^-1, harvest index and B:C ratio. Treatment T₁₁ (Homobrassinolide @ 1.00 ppm) gave significantly higher results in all parameters under study.
