| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted at college of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during Kharif 1998 to find out the effect of growth regulators on physiological and biochemical parameters and reproductive efficiency in Bell pepper (cv. Tarihal local). The experiment consisted of fifteen treatments comprising of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and Mepiquat chloride (MO) at different concentrations and was laid out in randomised block design with three replications. The plant height increased significantly due to NAA and decreased with Mepiquat chloride. The application of growth regulators significantly increased the per cent fruit set, number of branches, stem dry weight, dry matter production in reproductive parts and total dry matter. The leaf area, LAI, LAD, SLA, were significantly more with NAA, while treatments with MC reduced the same. AGR, CGR, RGR, NAR, SLW and BMD increased significantly due to the application of growth regulators. The total chlorophyll content, nitrate reductase activity, and ascorbic acid content increased significantly due to the application of growth regulators. All the growth regulator treatments significantly increased fruit yield/plant, number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight, 1000 seed weight and number of seeds/fruit. The fruit yield was significantly higher with MC @ 1500 ppm at 45 + 65 DAT followed by MC @ 1500 ppm at 45 DAT as compared to control. The fruit yield was positively correlated with number of branches, total dry matter in reproductive parts, SLW, NAR, total chlorophyll content, nitrate reductase, ascorbic acid content and yield components viz., average fruit weight, test weight and seed number/fruit. From the economic point of view, Mepiquat chloride @ 500 ppm at 45 DAT was more profitable. | en_US |
