Effect of nitrogen management and plant growth regulators on growth attributes of wheat

Abstract

The present investigation was conducted with the aim to know the effect of nitrogen management through organic and in-organic sources and plant growth regulators on the yield and yield attributes of the wheat cultivar HD-2968. The present study was conducted in the split plot design the treatments consist of four nutrient management, absolute control, RDF (Recommended dose of fertilizer). 150:60:40, 150% RDF. (225:90:60), 150% RDF+15t/ha FYM in main plots and four plant growth regulators, control- two sprays of water (400 lit water/ha) at first node and flag leaf stages. two spray of Chlormequat chloride (CCC) (Lihocin @ 0.2% (800 ml/ha) of commercial product dose at first node (Around 45 DAS) and flag leaf (Around 80 DAS) using 400 lit water /ha. two sprays of Tebuconazole (Folicur 430 sc) @ 0.1% at (400 ml/ha) First Node and Flag leaf with 400 lit water/ha. two spray combined application of Lihocin + Folicar in sub-plots.
