Abstract

The present study was conducted at UAS, Bangalore during 2015-16 on urdbean LBG-625 (Rashmi) with nine treatments to assess the influence of plant growth regulators and micronutrients on seed quality.The results revealed that application of recommended dose of NPK (25:50:25 kg/ha) + GA3 @ 30 ppm recorded significantly higher test weight (59.03 g), germination (88.10 %), seedling vigour index I & II (2531 and 514), TDH (0.440 OD at A480 nm), protein (24.96 %) and field emergence (85 %), compared to control.
