 ABSTRACT

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of decapitation and PGR’s on seed yield and its attributes in cluster bean cv. Pusa Navbahar with 3 (three) decapitation treatments and three plant growth regulators each at two concentrations with water spray as control in factorial randomized design with three replications at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during Kharif season of 2012-2013, 2013-14 and 2015-2016. The results showed significant differences among the yield parameters due to decapitation treatments. Decapitation at 70 DAS registered significantly the highest number of pods per cluster (8.05), number of clusters per plant (20.39), number of pods per plant (160.00), pod length (13.02 cm) and weight of 1000 seeds (42.32 g) in pooled analysis. However, maximum number of seeds per pod (9.15) was found in treatment decapitation at 85 DAS. Similar trend was also noted in seed yield (2174 kg/ha) in decapitation at 70 DAS, which was 10.52 % higher than control (Without decapitation). Among the PGR’s treatment spraying of GA3 20mg/l at flowering stage recorded significantly the maximum number of pods per cluster (7.55), number of clusters per plant (18.21), number of pods per plant (125.58), and number of seeds per pod (9.29). Maximum seed yield (2446 kg /ha) was also recorded by the same treatment and registered 74.34 % higher seed yield than control.

Key words: Decapitation, PGR’s, Cluster bean.
