Abstract

The field performance of PGRs spray treatments for regulating the seed yield and its attributes and seed protein content of Macrosperma (Kabuli) chickpea (Cicer arietimm L.- Macrosperma) cv L-144, was evaluated. Foliar spray at preflowering stage with cycocel (50 mg/l), tri-iodobenzoic acid (100 mg/l) B9(100 mg/l), maleic hydraiide (50 mg/1), mixtalol (6 mg/1) and triacontanol (4 mg/1) effectively enhanced the seed yield and protein content by their ameliorative effects on flower retention, pod formation, seed setting and seed weight.
