Effect of Various PGR and Micronutrients on Growth and Yield of Cabbage in Eastern Region of Uttar Pradesh, India
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The experiment comprising three treatments of plant growth regulators (BA @ 15ppm, GA 3 @ 50 ppm and NAA @ 100 ppm),three treatments of micronutrients (ZnSO 4 @ 5%, FeSO 4 @ 0.5% and boric acid @ 0.2%) and one untreated control plot thus, seven treatments were tested in randomized block design with three replications.Results showed that application of GA 3 @ 50 ppm recorded maximum and significantly superior plant height (18.85 cm), number of leaves per plant (13.31), leaf area at harvest (1027 cm 2 ) and maximum average weight of head (532.93 g), head yield per plot (25.51kg), head yield (270.90 q/ha) and ZnSO 4 @5% record maximum plant spread (638.05cm 2 ).However, foliar application of NAA @ 100 ppm was found statistically at par with GA3 @ 50 ppm.The results of the study further, revealed that application of GA 3 @ 50 ppm to the cabbage crop recorded significantly highest plant height (18.85 cm), number of leaves per plant (13.31), leaf area, took minimum days for head initiation & head maturity, maximum average weight of head (532.93 g/plant), yield per plot & total head yield (25.51 kg/plot and 270.90 q/ha).
