Abstract:
An investigation was conducted to see the effect of GA3 and cow urine on growth and physiology of custard apple. The result evinced that the maximum fresh and dry weight (3.58 and 0.76 g) of shoots and roots (0.98 and 0.46 g) respectively were obtained at 150 days after sowing under treatment T_3. The maximum LAI (1.07) and LAD (2975.00 cm² days) and minimum LTR 33.75 at 150 days after sowing was noted under treatment T₃ (GA₃ 400 ppm), and maximum LTR 59.50 was recorded under T₁₀ control The maximum mean survival percentage of seedlings (83.50%), seedling vigour index I (1966.75 cm) and seedling vigour index II (91.40 g) was recorded under treatment T₃.
