Abstract

The present study was carried out at Field experimentation, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during rabi season of (2020-2021). The Experiment was carried to study the influence of various growth regulators and botanicals on growth and yield of wheat. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with Thirteen treatments consists of IAA, GA3, Neem leaf extract, Tulasi leaf extract. Here maximum field emergence percentage (87.17), plant height (84.31), days to 50% flowering (52.67), number of tillers per plant (13.03), dry weight of plant (44.57), seed yield per plant (15.6), biological yield (42.97) harvest index (94) were observed in T7 (GA3 100 ppm 12 hrs). Whereas minimum was recorded in T0 (Control) in comparison with other treatments.

Key words: IAA, GA3, Neem leaf extract, Tulasi leaf extra
