Abstract:The present investigation entitle Effect of foliar application of plant growth regulators on growth and yield of cabbage (
Brassica oleracea var.
capitata L.) was conducted at Research and instruction cum farm, Department of Horticulture, BTC, College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bilaspur (C.G.) during
rabi season of 2022-23.
The experiment is carried out in RBD design with three replications and ten treatments. The treatments were created with different doses of plant growth regulators in cabbage var. Quick 48 (F1 Hybrid cabbage). The treatment consists of three concentration of each plant growth regulators namely GA3 (25, 50, 75 ppm), NAA (25, 50, 75 ppm), CCC (300, 500, 700 ppm) and one control plot. The treatments application as foliar spray at 30 and 45 DAT and the recommended package of practices in cabbage were followed as per requirement. Observations were recorded at 15,30,45 and 60 days after transplanting. The results revealed that treatment T2 – GA3 @ 50 ppm increase the plant height, number of leaves plant-1, steam of length, diameter of stem and increase the yield gross weight of head, net weight of head and yield hectare-1. It is also mentioned that highest B:C ratio of 2.55 was recorded.
