Abstract

Studies were conducted on the effect of different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) and kinetin on nitrogen fixation and yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The results revealed significant enhancement in nitrogen fixing efficacy with both GA3 and kinetin, kinetin being comparatively more effective.
