Impact of Plant Growth Regulators on Yield and Yield Attributing Characters of Turai (Luffa Acutangula)

Abstract

A study was conducted at M.S. College. Botanical Garden, Saharanpur (U.P.) to investigate the effect of different growth regulators viz. Etherphon (100, 200 and 300ppm). TIBA (50, 100 and 200 ppm). MH. 100, 200 and 400 ppm) and cycocel (200, 400 and 600 ppm) along with control on yield and yield attributes of Turai. All the treatments except control give out yield of fruit in terms of number as well as weight Ethephon at 300 ppm produced the highest number of fruits and fruit yield per plant.
