A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of various plant bio regulators on growth and flower yield of African marigold (tagetes erecta L.) cv. Pusa Narangi at Department of Horticulture, Janta P.G. College, Bakewar, Etawah (UP). Three plant bio regulators, viz., TIBA (50 and 100 ppm), MH (100 and 200 ppm) and CCC (200 and 400 ppm) were sprayed on plant 25 days after transplanting while only distilled water sprayed only was used as Control. Among the treatment CCC (400 ppm) decreased the height of plant but at the same time it significantly increased the number of flower, diameter of flowers and total yield of flowers as compared to other treatments.
