Water relations and yield characteristics of mungbean as influenced by foliar application of gibberellic acid (GA3)

Optimizing the dose and foliar application frequency of growth regulators such as gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) may play an important role in ensuring food security under changing climate scenarios by boosting grain yield legumes mungbean. A trial was conducted to evaluate promoting effect foliage applied at various spraying frequencies for mungbean crop. The employed treatments included four levels (0, 100, 200, 300 ppm) two (single spray 30 days after sowing DAS, sprays 40 DAS). Water relations, contributing characteristics were among response variables investigated. research findings revealed that GA (200 ppm twice pre-flowering post-flowering stages) significantly improved water morphological attributes This treatment combination remained unmatched producing highest relative content stem (85.52), retention capacity (17.24), uptake leaf (2.35). Furthermore, same resulted maximum plant height (50.04 cm), pods per (11.07), pod length (6.62 grains number (11.00), 100-grains weight (3.78 g), (4.57 a minimum saturation deficit. Thus, 200 60 DAS has potential stimulate increase However, additional in-depth field trials with doses sprayed higher be required before recommending general adoption growers.
