Seed and protein yield of macrosperma chickpea in response to treatments with growth substances under field conditions

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.
