“…(Gharib, 2007, Sayyariet al, 2013, Mohsen et al, 2014, Karimian et al, 2015, Pradhan et al, 2016, Koppad et al, 2017and Sathiyamurthyet al, 2017. Besides, foliar spray of SA and chitosan helped to activate the signalling pathways of growth regulating substances like gibberellins and auxins which might also contributed to increased bio mass of plants by increasing number and size of cells (Supriya, 2015, Gorni and Pacheco, 2016, Youssef et al, 2017, Vitthal, 2018, Forouzandeh et al, 2019and Nithin, 2020. The stimulation of physiological processes, improved vegetative growth, active translocation of photoassimilates from source to sink tissues, increased number of leaves and branches per plant, and accumulation of dry matter may all be contributing factors to the increase in yield per plant in the treatment receiving chitosan spray.…”
