Effect Of Growth Regulators And Boron On Productivity And Quality In Pearl Millet

Abstract

The effect of growth regulator chlormequat chloride along with combination of growth promotor kinetin and micronutrient boron administered to Pearl millet crop was examined in this experiment. The Pearl millet is considered as most important alternative crop for poorly drained soil with low water content even after all uncertainties crop can provide promising nutritive yield and fodder for cattle as well.The impact of all three agro chemicals was evaluated in combination and separately on different growth parameters such as morphological, biochemical and yield at different growth intervals. The achieved results from study shows that the application of Chlormequat chloride intensely lowered plant height even though increase stem girth, tillering, leaf area which resulted in thicker stem. The increase in diameter of stem allow plant to withstand during harsh weather conditions and successfully made crop more sustain to rainfed condition. The application of Kinetin treatment directly had a significant influence on leaf area and chlorophyll content which contributing to increased photosynthetic activity of plant. The application of micronutrient boron individually and combination with kinetin and chlormequat chloride has improved reproductive development, resulting in higher grain yield and quality. Additionally, synergistic interactions were detected when chlormequat chloride, kinetin and boron were applied simultaneously, resulting in significant benefits. newline
