Effect of Seed Priming and Foliar Spray of Bio-regulators on Yield and Yield Attributes of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Conserved Moisture Condition
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: A three year field experiment was conducted in rabi seasons during 2014 to 2016 under conserved moisture condition aims of the experiment to find out the suitable bio- regulator and its effect on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), experiment treatments were applied as seed soaking with thiourea (500 ppm), salicylic acid (50 ppm), thioglycolic acid (50 ppm (before sowing) and foliar spray of water, thiourea (1000 ppm), salicylic acid (100 ppm) thioglycolic acid (100 ppm) at vegetative stage and flowering stage and one is absolute control in both of factors. Among the treatments imposed, significantly higher seed yield (1759, 1314, 1284 kg ha.) recorded with soaking with thiourea (500 ppm) and foliar spray (1897, 1362, 1337 kg ha.) of thiourea (1000 ppm) over control in all individual three years.
