Effects of GA3 and NAA on Growth and Yield of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Kashi Sandesh

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to find out the Effect of two concentrations of GA3 and NAA and their combinations on growth and yield of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Kashi Sandesh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and nine treatments. Higher growth attributing characters viz. maximum plant height (71.14 cm), number of leaves per plant (71.65), number of branches (12.77), Days to 50% flowering (43.12) and yield & yield attributing characters, viz,. number of fruit per plant (16.17), fruit length (11.66 cm), fruit weight (180.48 g), fruit diameter (9.48 cm), fruit yield (2.91 kg/plant), fruit yield (29.22 kg/plot), fruit yield (383.95 q/ha) were recorded under T8- NAA + GA3 (40 ppm + 50 ppm). Similarly, maximum net return (421750.86 Rs/ha) and B:C ratio (2.73) were recorded under T8- NAA + GA3 (40 ppm + 50 ppm) followed by treatment T7- and T6. T9- Control was produced poor performance among all the treatments.
