Interaction of triacontanol with other plant growth regulators on morphology and yield of field pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Abstract

The effect of a recent plant growth regulator, triacontanol (TRIA), on plant growth and yield of Pisum sativum L. was investigated. The experiment was carried out under field conditions at the Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agraria (INIA), La Molina, Lima, Peru, using a completely randomized block design with eight treatments and three replicates. Treatments consisted in the foliar application of TRIA alone and in all possible combinations with three plant growth regulators based on auxins (AUX), gibberellins (GA), and cytokinins (CK), on pea plants cv. Rondo. The highest green pod yields were obtained with the application of TRIA+AUX+GA+CK, and TRIA+AUX+CK. The TRIA+AUX increased the values of the yield variables while TRIA+GA increased the values of the morphological variables. TRIA+CK showed a stimulating effect on morphological variables and number of grains per pod, while TRIA+AUX+CK acted synergistically on yield variables since their combined effect overweighed the effect of each growth regulator separately. Treatments with TRIA exceeded the control treatment in yield variables, indicating its great potential to be used in sustainable agriculture to guarantee food security in the future.

Assessment of Foliar Spray of Iron and Salicylic Acid under Artificial Magnetism on Various Metabolites of Pisum sativum

“…Pisum sativum commonly known as green pea or field pea, a member of Fabaceae (legumes) family, one of the most vital family of spermatophytes. It is an angiospermic crop, grown once a year in the cold season [1]. The family contains annual and bi-annual herbaceous plants, important both nutritionally as well as economically.…”

Phytosanitary features of pea morphotypes under the conditions of the Tyumen region

“…The use of isolated genetic sources with a certain resistance in breeding, which make it possible to change the pea genome with targeted specific properties, is a modern method for increasing productivity [11]. The timely application of plant protection products and agrochemicals is the main regulator of crop conservation [12][13][14].…”

Impact of PGRS Priming on Germination and Seedling Parameters of Pea And Plantago under Artificial Magnetism

“…Seeds of Plantago are major source of many secondary metabolites Such as Glycoside, sugars, plantiose and aucbin (4), while pea (Pisum sativum L.) is member of family Fabaceae (Legume) one of advance flowering plant family and cultivated worldwide, cold season annual herb crop. Legumes are the most important due to presence of protein and nutrient for both animals, human, enhance soil fertility by the symbiotic association with nitrogen fixing bacteria and boost the economy of the country (5).…”
