“…Govindan and Thirumurugan (2000) observed that the foliar spray of KCl (1 per cent) + KNO 3 (1 per cent) increased the grain yield of green gram by 21.8 per cent. Ramesh and Thirumurugan (2001) stated that foliar applications of 2 per cent DAP and 1 per cent KCl along with benzyladenine 25 ppm had significantly increased the plant height in soybean. The increased lint yield is due to foliar applied potassium under the low soil potassium condition (Cakmak, 2005).…”

In pulse crops, synchronized flowering altered the source-sink relationship due to the rapid translocation of nutrients from leaves to the developing pods. Additional nutrition through foliar feeding plays a vital role in pulse production by stimulating root development, nodulation, energy transformation, various metabolic processes and increasing pod setting, thereby increasing the yield. Many researchers are trying to reduce transpiration losses, flower shedding and maximizing productivity, foliar application of nutrient formulations and growth regulators in pulses. Thus, the foliar application of macro and micronutrients and growth regulators is considered an efficient and economical method of supplementing part of the nutrient requirements and moisture stress tolerance at critical stages. The PPFM (Pink pigmented facultative methylobacteria), when used as a foliar spray, it releases osmoprotectants (sugars and alcohols) on the surface of the plants and it increases chlorophyll content, thereby increasing the photosynthetic efficiency and makes drought tolerance ability of plants. This matrix helped to protect the plants from desiccation and high temperatures. Whereas potassium as spray also enhances drought tolerance in plants by mitigating harmful effects by increasing translocation, maintaining water balance and increasing pod filling. Further, Salicylic acid is an endogenous growth regulator of phenolic nature, which regulates physiological processes to mitigate stress, acts as a chelate for phosphorous uptake, increases pod setting, flowering and grain yield. Pulse wonder decreases flower shedding, increases yield by up to 20% and offers moisture stress tolerance.

“…Poor fruit set was believed to be one of the significant barriers in capsicum (Saha et al, 2010). Flower and fruit drops can be minimized by applying plant growth regulators in most crops (Chattopadhyay and Sen, 1974) by spraying various growth regulators on foliage (Ramesh and Thirumurugan, 2001).…”

Yield reduction in Capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.), which occurs due to physiological and hormonal imbalances in the plants, particularly under unfavourable environments, is one of the main problems in Sri Lanka. Plant growth regulator has the potential to reduce fruit and flower drops. A preliminary experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Crop Research and Development Institute at Gannoruwa to determine the effect of plant growth regulators on capsicum cultivation. Chlormequat chloride was used as plant growth regulator and sprayed as foliar spray at one (T2), two (T3), and five (T4) weeks after transplanting and one, two and five weeks after transplanting (T5), respectively. The plants sprayed with water served as the control (T1). Treatments were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block design. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) among tested treatments in plant height, chlorophyll content, number of days taken to 50% flowering, number of days taken to first fruit and the number of flowers per branch, average canopy width and number of fruits per plant. All treatments had the first flower at 34 days after transplanting. Further, marketable, non-marketable, and total capsicum yields were statistically the same in all tested treatments. Therefore, the present study concluded that applying chlormequat chloride at different time intervals in different growth stages did not positively impact the growth and yield of capsicum.

The field trial was carried in Zaid season of 2021 at SHUATS Model of Organic Farm (SMOF), Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The objective was to study the growth and yield of Black gram as influenced by crop geometry and seed pelleting with botanicals under certified organic production system. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design to study the effect of seed pelleting with leaf powders of three botanicals, viz., Pongamia pinnata, Prosopis juliflora, and Albizia lebbeck, and sown in three different row spacings of 20 cm, 30 cm, and 40 cm, on the growth and yield of black gram. The results revealed that black gram seeds pelleted with Albizia leaf powder and sown at row spacing of 30 cm reported maximum plant height (43 cm), dry weight (12.49 g/plant), number nodules per plant (27.50), seeds per pod (7.07), test weight (42.19 g), grain yield (872.96 kg/ha), and haulm yield (2511.11 kg/ha) which was significantly superior to other treatments.
