Role of plant growth regulators in pulse production: A review
Author(s): Kodhati Vishnu and Dr. BS Brar
Abstract: India ranks first in terms of production and consumption of pulses. Pulses are good source of proteins required for human beings. The consumption of pulses are going to be increased, so there is need to increase the productivity of pulse crop production. To increase the productivity of pulses we have to identify the existing constraints that includes inherent physiological limitations viz., lower germination percentage, indeterminate growth habit, slower dry matter accumulation, decline in nodule activity, photosynthetic characteristics. These limitations are controlled by the application of plant growth regulators (PGR’s). Plant growth regulators are familiar to ameliorate the physiological efficiency as well as photosynthetic ability of plants. This paper reviews about application of plant growth regulators (PGR’s) to improve these limitations and to increase the yield of pulse crops.
