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).enagriculture, plant physiologystudyThesis
