An investigation was carried out to study the effect of brassinosteroids on certain biochemical parameters of groundnut. Field experiments were conducted with foliar spraying of brassinosteroids at different concentrations (0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mg l−1) on 25, 30, 35 and 50 DAS. Observations on biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, soluble protein, sugars and nitrogenase activity were recorded. From the results, it was found that application of bras sino steroids @ 1.00 mg l−1 on 25 and 35 DAS was the best among the treatments when compared to control.
