Abstract: The use of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) has opened up new opportunities for improved productivity of seeds in pulses, in particular, which are often subject to limitations due to both internal and external factors. Therefore, an experiment was carried out inside the net house in cement moulded pots to determine the effect of crop growth regulators viz. Maleic Hydrazide, Gibberellin, Triacontanol, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid and Cycocel, as foliar spray. The result suggested significant differences in vegetation, canopy composition, flower initiation, pod setting, seed per plant, etc. due to plant growth regulators. These changes translated finally to the yield attributes. The findings of the study concluded that productivity and biological yield per plant were the best among all treatments for TIBA 20 ppm, while H.I. It was the largest in CCC 100 ppm. These findings indicate that the use of the plant growth regulator may help us as a means of improving the yield of urad bean. This investigation also suggested that, if a new growth inhibitor were to be identified that could regulate excess vegetative growth without detrimental effects on reproductive production, the yield of seed in urad bean could also likely be increased by combining a growth inhibitor such as TIBA with a growth promoter at a particular developmental level.
