Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture cum Instructional Farm, Collage of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidhyalaya, Raipur (C.G.). The experiment was carried out with Randomized Block Design with nine treatments were replicated three times. At the foliar application of different concentration of GA3, IAA, Triacontanol and Salisylic Acid, all growth and yield parameters were significantly higher as compared to control. The result showed that plant height was significantly higher (88.77cm) with T2 (GA3 - 50ppm). Out of nine treatments, number of leaves per plant (53.44), number of branches per plant (4.40), days to first flowering (34.67), days to first harvesting (40.93), length of reproductive phase (49.33), fruit picking period (43.06), number of fruit per plant (17.33), length of fruit (15.67 cm), percentage fruit set (96.00 %), average weight per fruit (22.20), average fruit weight per plant (407.55g) and yield (214.09 q/ha) was significantly higher with T4 (IAA – 200ppm). It is concluded that the foliar application of IAA – 200ppm were more positively influenced the vegetative growth and yield of okra.
