Abstract:
The study conducted an experiment involving three replications and eleven different treatments to assess the seed yield and quality parameters of yard long bean. All of the treatments demonstrated superior results in terms of seed yield and quality. Treatment T₇, which consisted of NAA at 50 ppm and BAP at 50 ppm, exhibited remarkable improvements in various seed yield and quality characteristics. These improvements included the highest number of branches plant^-1 (13.50), the highest number of pods plant^-1 (19.17), the highest number of seeds pod^-1 (20.67), seed yield plant^-1 (89 g), seed yield ha^-1 (10 q), test weight (238 g), and protein content (25.88%). On the other hand, Treatment T₃, which involved GA₃ at 50 ppm, showed the highest germination percentage (92.33%) and the highest seed vigor indices (both I and II) at 2803.50 and 137.95, respectively. Therefore, both Treatment T₇ and Treatment T₃ were significantly more effective than the other treatments in enhancing the seed yield and quality of yard long beans.
