Pulses are cheap source of vegetable protein (20-25%). Greengram
occupies a prominent place by virtue of its high nutritive value
short growth period and its ability to suit any cropping systems.
During the process of evolution and adaptation, pulse crops
acquired primitive characters like long duration, indeterminate and
compact growth, excessive flowering, flower drop, shattering,
non-synchronous maturity, etc., for their survival rather than high
yield. Further their lower dry matter partitioning is one of the
causes for lower harvest index. The present investigation was
undertaken to assess different physiological and biochemical
characters with application of different growth promoting and
retarding compounds on growth, dry matter production and yield in
greengram. The plant growth regulators are known to influence
growth attributes right from seed germination to senescence either
by reducing the plant height or by enhancing the growth, flowering,
pod and seed development and ultimately yield. From the present
investigation it is evident that application of NAA @ 20 ppm at
flower initiation stage was significantly superior and was more
effective in increasing the yield.
