Growth and yield of Bari Mung-5 (Vigna Radiata L. Wilczek) following tiba application

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of TIBA (0, 20, 50, 100,
150 mg/l) on the growth and yield attributes of BARI Mung-5 laid out in RBD.
Plant height decreased due to TIBA treatments. Number of branches and leaves
per plant were found to increase in all the treatments at all the ages of growth
except at 7 DAS and the maximum number of branches and leaves were
recorded due to 20 mg/l TIBA treatment. Dry matter per plant increased due to
20 mg/l TIBA in most cases and was significantly highest at harvest. All the yield
contributing characters showed positive response to 20 mg/l TIBA treatment.
Number of pods and seeds per plant and fresh and dry weights of pods
significantly differed from all other treatments. Increase in yield per plant and
yield per hectare following 20 mg/l TIBA was 22.60 and 22.80% over the control,
respectively. The highest harvest index was also recorded from 20 mg/l TIBA
followed by control.
