The foliar sprayed of GA₃ @ 200 PPM + NAA @ 200 PPM was found most effective for increasing the plant height, number of branches per plant, days to flower initiation, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, total dry weight per plant, leaf area per plant, leaf area index and number of pods plant^-1, pod length, seed yield, test weight, harvest index over rest of the treatments. Generally, the use of growth regulators as foliar application increased the yield and yield components.
