Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Auxin and Zeatin-based nanoformulations in post-flowering management in greengram. Place and Duration of Study: Nanoformulations were standardized at the Department of Nano Science and Technology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore and a field trial was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar. Methodology: Nanoformulations were standardized by oil in water nanoemulsion technique and effect on crop is observed by foliar spray of nanoformulations during the flowering stage of crop growth. Results: Increased chlorophyll content due to NAA and Zeatin and extended retention of chlorophyll in Auxin-based treatments has been recorded. Hence the crop can produce more assimilates leading to increased seed yield. Zeatin spray also recorded increased chlorophyll, mature pods, number of seeds pod-1, seed weight, pod setting percentage. Such an increase of yield attributes was mainly due to decreased flower shedding percentage. Conclusion: Growth regulators such as Auxin and Zeatin exhibited a significant role in increasing plant chlorophyll content and yield of greengram. Among treatments, Nanoemulsion of NAA @ 30ppm recorded a higher number of mature pods, seed yield, seed weight and lower flower shedding percentage which is concluded as the best treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
