Effect of Foliar Application of Hormones and Nutrients on Yield of Ardusi (Adhatoda zeylanica)

Adhatoda zeylanica plant leaves were used which were given the foliar application of hormones and nutrients. Plant height and no. of branches/plant were higher intreatment T5 – 0.2% urea + 100ppm BA and T4 – 0.2% urea + 100ppm kinetin at 36 month of age as compared to other treatments. While No. of leaves/plant was observed higher in treatment T2 – 0.1% urea + 100ppm kinetin at 36 month of age as compared to other treatments. Fresh leaf yield/plant (g) was observed higher in treatment T₄ at 36 month of age as compared to other treatments. While Dry leaf yield/plant was observed higher in treatment T₂ at 36 month of age as compared to other treatments. The percentage yield was found to be higher in treatment T₂ as compared to the other treatments in both January and February sampling. Minimum percentage yield was found in treatment T1 – Water spray.
