ABSTRACT
The present experiment was conducted at the Central farm OUAT during Rabi season 2014-15 with five sesame varieties viz. Uma, Amrit, Smarak, Prachi and Nirmala to study the efficiency of growth regulators such as NAA, GA3 and IAA in two conc. (10 ppm and 20 ppm ) sprayed at 30 and 45 DAS. The experiment was laid out in the split-plot design with three replications. The highest value was exhibited by Nirmala as regards to chlorophyll content. The chlorophyll content both chlorophyll-a (4.32 mg/g F wt of leaf), chlorophyll-b (1.29 mg/g F wt of leaf) and total chlorophyll (5.57 mg/g F wt of leaf) increased due to spraying growth regulators over the control. In view of the present findings, Nirmala was found to shows better response among all the varieties and may be recommended to farmers for cultivation.
Key words: Chlorophyll, cultivars, gibberellic acid and growth regulators.
