Abstract
The present investigation on “Influence of levels of leaf removal and
PGR’S on growth, yield and quality of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera L.)”
was conducted at Medicinal and Aromatic Crop Research Station, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2012-13 and 2013-14,
respectively.
The field experiment was laid out in split plot design with three
replications under total twenty eight treatment combinations. The treatments
comprised of levels of leaf removal viz. 25% removal of leaves at 60 DAS (M1),
50% removal of leaves at 60 DAS (M2), 75% removal of leaves at 60 DAS (M3)
randomly and Control (M4) as main plot treatments whereas under the sub plot
treatments spraying of plant growth regulators were applied as a foliar treatment
at 60 DAS, which consisted of NAA at two levels (50 and 100 mg l-1), GA3
(20 and 40 mg l-1) and CCC(50 and 100 mg l-1) with the control (Water spray).
