Abstract:
An experiment was carried in field section of Agricultural Botany, College of Agriculture, Nagpur, during Kharif 2022 based on a RBD with three replications, variety PKV Green Gold with thirteen treatments were taken. The treatments composed of foliar application of two plant growth regulators viz., GA₃ and NAA. The foliar application of GA₃ @ 200 PPM + NAA @ 200 PPM was found most effective for increasing the chlorophyll content, yield and yield contributing characters. However, nitrogen content in leaves and protein content in seed was measured significantly with foliar application of GA₃ @ 150 PPM + NAA @ 150 PPM over rest of the treatments. The growth regulators as foliar application increased the yield and yield components. Effect of GA₃ and NAA application was influenced by various environmental conditions and for accurate conclusion it is essential to understand the sensitivity of mungbean variety to prevailing conditions. The timing of GA₃ and NAA application is critical and sophisticated analytical techniques are required for accurate measurement of biochemical parameters. To overcome these challenges, well- controlled experiments should be designed by considering multiple factors in collaboration with experts in plant physiology and biochemistry.
