Response of growth regulators on flower drop, fruit setting, biochemical constituents and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under mid hill conditions of H.P.

Significandy higher number of buds/plant, number of flowers/plant, length of pod, circumference of pod, number of grains/pod, number of pods/plant, biological yield, test weight and grain yield were recorded in NAA 20 ppm while minimum was in control. The maximum chlorophyll content (mg/g) fresh weight were observed in kinetin. The days taken to maturity was also delayed by application of kinetin.
