    The performance of twenty Indian mustard mutants (ACM1, ACM2, ACM3, ACM4, ACM5, ACM6, ACM7, ACM8, ACM9, ACM10, ACM11, ACM12, ACM13, ACM14, ACM15, ACM16, ACM17, ACM18, ACM19, ACM20) and checks Bio-902 and Pusa Bold on morpho-physiological chemical, biochemical, yield and yield contributing parameters of mustard was studied during rabi 2017-18. The field experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications at the farm of department of Agricultural Botany College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Sowing was done by dibbling method at spacing 45 cm x 10 cm on 12th November 2017.Plant height, number of branches plant-1 were recorded at harvesting stage and dry matter production and leaf area were recorded at 25, 45 and 65 DAS. RGR and NAR were calculated at 45-25 and 65-45 DAS. Chemical and biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, N, P, K content in leaves were estimated at 25, 45, and 65 DAS. Seed oil and protein content were also estimated. Observations on yield and yield contributing parameters like number of siliqua plant-1, number of seed siiqua-1, number of seed 20-1siliqua, test weight, seed yield plant-1, plot-1, ha-1were all recorded. All these above mentioned parameters were analysed statistically.The twenty mutants of mustard showed significant variation among them for all the characters studied. The correlation studies indicated positive and highly significant correlation of all characters with yield. The weightage should be given to all morpho-physiological, chemical, biochemical and yield and yield contributing parameters to increase seed yield of mustard mutants. Considering these characters the mutants ACM18, ACM12, ACM6, ACM4 and ACM8 can be considered for further study and cultivation also. These five mutants were also found significantly superior over both checks Bio-902 and Pusa Bold. Hence, these mutants were also recommended for breeding programme and testing also.

    EFFECTIVITY OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF PUTRESCINE AND INDOLE-3-BUTYRIC ACID ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND YIELD IN BLACK GRAM.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-06-26) JADHAV, NILESH DNYANESHWAR.
    The Physiological responses of foliar sprays of putrescine (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) and IBA (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) on the morpho-physiological, chemical, biochemical, yield and yield contributing parameters of black gram (var. TAU-1) were studied during kharif 2017-2018 at farm of Botany section, college of Agriculture, Nagpur. Experiment was laid out in RBD design with three replications and nine treatments. Sowing was done by drilling method on dated 29th June 2017 at a spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm. Thereafter all the intercultural operations were done as and when required. The recommended doses of 20 kg N ha-1 and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 was applied in all treatments. Spraying of putrescine and IBA were done twice i.e. at 25 and 40 DAS. Observations about morpho-physiological parameters such as leaf area and dry weight of plant at 25, 40 and 55 DAS were recorded. Plant height and number of secondary branches were recorded at the time of maturity. RGR, NAR were calculated at 25-40 and 40-55 DAS. Chemical and biochemical parameters like leaf chlorophyll, N, P, K content in leaves and protein content in seeds were also estimated. Observations on yield and yield contributing parameters like 100 seed weight, number of the pods plant-1, seeds yield plant-1 (g), plot-1 (kg) and ha-1 (q) were recorded. All these above mentioned parameters were analyzed statistically. Foliar sprays of putrescine (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) and IBA (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) significantly enhanced morpho-physiological parameters viz., plant height, leaf area, dry matter of plant, number of secondary branches, RGR, NAR. chemical and biochemical parameters viz., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, chlorophyll in leaf, protein content in seed, yield and yield contributing parameters viz., 100 seed weight, number of seeds pod-1, number of the pods plant-1, seeds yield plant-1 (g), plot-1 (kg) and ha-1 (q) over control. The highest per cent increase in yield over control was observed in treatment sprayed with 100 ppm IBA i.e. 52.25 per cent. Next to this treatment, foliar spray of 100 ppm putrescine also enhanced yield by 51.58 per cent over control. From overall results, it can be stated that foliar application of growth regulators such as putrescine and IBA with different concentrations improved the morpho-physiological, biochemical and yield and yield contributing parameters might have helped in attaining better pod yield in the present investigation. But considering the B: C ratio foliar application of 25 ppm IBA (T6) was found most effective treatment having B: C ratio of 2.97 as compared to other treatments under study.

    The efficacy of foliar sprays of humic acid through vermicompost wash with NAA on the morpho-physiological, chemical and biochemical, yield and yield contributing parameters of sesamum cv. AKT-64 was studied during rabi2017-18 at experimental farm of Agricultural Botany section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications and twelve treatments. Twelve treatments viz.,T1 (control),T2 (25 ppm NAA), T3 (50 ppm NAA), T4 (300 ppm HA through VCW), T5 (400 ppm HA through VCW), T6 (500 HA through ppm VCW), T7(25 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through VCW), T8 (25 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW), T9 (25 ppm NAA + 500 ppm HA through VCW), T10 (50 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through VCW), T11 ( 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW), and T12 (50 ppm NAA + 500 ppm HA through VCW) were tested. Sowing was done on 14th November 2017 by dibbling method at a spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm. Thereafter, all the intercultural operations were done as and when required. Foliar application of humic acid through vermicompost wash and NAA individually and in combination were given at stages of 25 and 40 DAS on sesamum. The various morpho-physiological and chemical and biochemical observations like leaf area plant-1, dry weight plant-1, Leaf chlorophyll, and leaf N, P, K were recorded at 25, 40, 55 and 70 DAS respectively. Observations on plant height plant-1 and number of branches plant-1 were recorded at the time of harvesting. Similarly RGR and NAR were calculated at 25-40, 40-55 and 55-70 DAS. Oil content in seeds was also estimated. Observations on yield and yield contributing parameters like number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1,1000 seed weight, seed yield plant-1, plot-1, ha-1 and harvest index were also recorded. Similarly B:C ratio was calculated. Data obtained from all the observations were subjected to statistical analysis. Results obtained from this study confirmed that two foliar sprays of 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW and 50 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through VCW significantly enhanced morpho-physiological parameters viz., plant height, number of branches plant-1, leaf area and dry weight plant-1, RGR, NAR, chemical and biochemical parameters viz., leaf nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, leaf chlorophyll and seed oil content and yield and yield contributing parameters viz.,number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1,1000 seed weight, seed yield plant-1, plot-1, ha-1 over control. Considering the treatments under study two foliar sprays of 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW and 50 ppm NAA + 300 pmm HA through VCW at 25 and 40 DAS were found to be most effective treatmentsin improving all above mentioned parameters of sesamum cv. AKT-64 and ultimately increased yield by 37.31 and 34.88 per cent over control. Considering the B:C ratio foliar application of 50 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through vermicompost wash and 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm VCW were found most effective treatments having B:C ratio of 1 : 2.89 and 1 : 2.88 as compared to control (1 : 2.38).
