A study was conducted to find out the effect of seed soaking and foliar sprays of plant growth regulators on germination, growth and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) var. Parbhani Kranti.The treatment comprised of the two concentrations i.e. seed soaking of GA3 (50 and 100 ppm) and cycocel (100 ppm and 150) and foliar spray of cycocel (250, 500, 750, 1000 ppm) at 30 and 45 days after sowing and control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with two replications. Soaking of okra seeds with GA3 @ 100 ppm and foliar sprays cycocel @ 750 and 1000 ppm at 30 and 45 DAS ,respectively was found to be beneficial in early germination (2.75 days),highest germination percentage (99.5), reduction in height of plant (86.65 cm), length of internodes (5.10 cm),and increase number of leaves (43), number of internodes (15.90), number of branches (3.15),leaf area(1249.5cm2),resulted in to induce early flowering (34 days), increase number of flowers (23.40), fruit set (87.54 %), number of fruits (20.46),and yield per plant (201.30 g/plant) of okra.Keywords

A study was conducted to find out the effect of seed soaking and foliar sprays of plant growth regulators on physiological and yield attributes of okra var. Parbhani Kranti. The treatment comprised of the two concentration i.e., seed soaking of GA3 (50 and 100 ppm) and cycocel (100 ppm and 150) and foliar sprays of cycocel (250, 500, 750, 1000 ppm) at 30 and 45 days after sowing and control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with two replications. Soaking of okra seeds with GA3 @ 100 ppm and foliar sprays of cycocel @ 750 and 1000 ppm at 30 and 45 DAS, respectively were found to be beneficial to increase the physiological attributes like leaf area (1134.6 cm2), leaf area index (1.32 m2), chlorophyll a (1.41 mg/g), chlorophyll b (0.48 mg/g), total chlorophyll (1.89 mg/g) and yield attributes like early flowering (34.00 days), increase number of flowers (23.40), fruit set (87.54 %), diameter of fruit (2.26 cm), number of fruits per plant (20.46), yield (201.30 g/per plant) and reduce length of fruit (10.00 cm) of okra.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PGR, chemicals and plant extract on seed germination and seedling growth of custard apple. The results of present investigation clearly showed the significant differences with respect to effect of seed soaking in 50 ppm GA3 for 48 hrs on days required for germination, germination percentage, seedling height, stem diameter and number of leaves per seedling of custard apple. As these results are based on single trail extensive trials may be conducted to confirm the findings. Thus, it can be concluded that seed treatment of GA3 at 50 ppm for 48 hrs was helpful to get higher germination and seedling growth of custard apple.
