Influence of growth regulators (PGR) and organic manure on growth and yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm of United University, Rawatpur, Jhalwa, Prayagraj (U.P.) in the Kharif season 2023 to investigate the Response of organic manure and growth regulators on growth and yield of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) the study was performed in Randomized block design with three replications in ten treatments. The heterogeneous permissible combination with growth regulators + the organic substance of Farm yard manure + vermicompost + poultry manure + NPK (50% N). Significantly increased plant height (168.02 cm) at harvest, dry weight plant-1 (150.28 g), number of effective tillers plant-1 (6.03), Ear head length (24.04 cm), Number of grains/ear head (1988.30), Test weight (10.67 g), seed yield (3019.0 kg/ha these results indicate that organic manure and adding growth regulators proved useful in achieving the yield.
