Growth, yield and profitability of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) as influenced by varying levels of growth regulators and vermin-wash

摘要

A field experiment was conducted at Sardarkrushinagar (Gujarat) to study influence of growth regulators (naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and ethephon) on growth, yield and profitability of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum). Dry matter accumulation,crop growth rate, relative growth rate, seed, straw and biological yields, net realization and benefit : cost ratio were significantly higher with foliar spray of NAA 30 ppm, followed by ethephon 150 ppm and NAA 20 ppm.
