Effect of bio-stimulants and growth regulators on plant growth and herbage yield of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum L)

Abstract

WA study was conducted to find out the effect of different bio-stimulants and growth regulators on plant growth, herbage yield and quality of fenugreek var CO 2. Foliar spray of bio-stimulants and growth regulators like TNAU Panchagavya (3%), Moringa Leaf Extract (3%), PPFM (1%), Vermiwash (3%), Humic Acid (1000 ppm) and Cytozyme (1000 ppm) were used as a treatments. Among the different treatments, the mean value of number of leaves (62.24), number of primary branches (6.87), leaf area (255.68cm2) and herbage yield per plot (5.49 kg plot-1) was recorded highest in the treatment T2 (vermiwash @ 3%). While in plant height (30.01cm) PPFM recorded best compared to all other treatments. B:C ratio was also high in treatment T2 (3.85) compared to control (1.88).
