abstract
Field experiment entitled “Efficacy of plant growth regulators on yield of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)” was conducted at Instructional farm, Department of Horticulture, BTC College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bilaspur (C.G.) during rabi season 2023-24. Experiment comprised of three levels of each plant growth regulators namely GA₃ (75,100 and 125 ppm), NAA (75,100 and 125 ppm), Ethrel (75,100 and 125 ppm) along with control. Treatments were evaluated under randomized block design comprised of ten treatments replicated thrice. On the basis of results obtained, yield attributes and yield were significantly affected by growth regulators imposed on fenugreek.Results emanated from experiment that yield attributes viz.; number of pods plant^-1 (32.94), number of seeds pod ^-1 (16.87), length of pod (13.03 cm), test weight (17.95 g) and seed yield (13.92 q ha^-1) recorded maximum under treatment T₄ (GA₃ 125 ppm) which was significantly superior over other treatments but was found statistically at par with treatment T₃ (GA₃ 100ppm).
