Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif season of 2021. Fifteen treatment combination comprising three varieties and five levels of growth regulators treatment were included in the experiment. Significantly higher plant height (64.05 cm) at 90 DAS and (75.05 cm) at harvest in TG 37 A and effect of growth regulators found non-significant on plant height at all stage Effect of varieties on number of branches per plant was found significant. Significantly the highest branches per plant (6.54) in TG 37 A. While, effect of growth regulators was found non-significant on number of branches per plant. Effect of varieties as well as growth regulators treatments found significant on number of pods per plant and pod yield. Significantly the highest number of pods per plant (25.76) was found in variety TG 37 A and significantly higher number of pods per plant (25.04) was found in ABA 500 ppm and it was at par with ABA 250 ppm (24.36 pods/plant). Significantly the highest pod yield (2478 kg/ha) was recorded in TG 37 A variety and treatment ABA 500 ppm achieved significantly higher pod yield (2442 kg/ha) and it was at par with ABA 250 ppm (2303 kg/ha). Significantly the highest haulm yield (4394 kg/ha) in variety TG 37 A. Effect of growth regulators was found significantly lower on seed germination % and seed germination in pod per plant. Significantly lower seed germination and seed germination in pod per plant found in ABA 500 ppm and it was at par with ABA 250 ppm.
