 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was carried out to find the effect of plant growth regulators on leaf nutrients content and root growth in rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri) seedling. More number of secondary and tertiary roots was counted in treatment T8 43.00, 87.67 respectively. Highest root fresh & dry weight and root volume was recorded in treatment T4 16.83 g, 7.65 g, and 14.57 ml respectively. The thickest root diameter (12.93 mm) was observed in treatment T11. Highest nitrogen content (1.12 %) and potassium content (1.11 %) was estimated in treatment T4.

Key words: Plant growth regulator, Foliar spray, Rough lemon, Leaf nutrients, Root growth.
