Abstract:
The experiment implemented RBD with three replications and eleven treatments to evaluate the growth and yield of yard long beans. All treatments exhibited superior growth and yield. Treatment T₇, involving NAA 50 ppm + BAP 50 ppm, showed remarkable improvements in growth and yield characteristics, such as maximum vine length (2.06 m), number of branches plant^-1 (13.50), number of pods plant^-1 (19.17), average pod length (51.57 cm), total pod yield plant^-1 (527 g), and pod yield ha^-1 (331 q). On the other hand, Treatment T₈ (NAA 100 ppm + BAP 100 ppm), demonstrated the shortest time to first picking (57 days). Hence, both T₇ and T₈ were significantly more effective than the other treatments in promoting better growth and yield of yard long beans.
