Abstract

Foliar application of B-995 on senji (Meltiotus parviflora Desv.) plants increased green fodder yield (1.30% to 7.00%), dry matter yield (0.80% to 9.97%) and protein yield (4.94 to 32.76%). Similarly 1000 seed weight and seed yield increased with foliar application maximum being in 500 ppm followed by 1000 ppm. In general, seed yield was more in uncut crop in comparison to crop which was cut once at 50% flowering for fodder.
