Abstract
Field experiment was conducted at the Experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research, School of Agriculture, Selaiyur, Chennai, to study the effect of foliar spray of organic phytohormones on rice fallow black gram, during April, 2022. All the treatments significantly influenced the growth and yield characters of black gram. Among the treatments, T6- foliar spray of 5% panchakavya with 10% vermiwash at 30and 45 DAS recorded higher seed yield 974 kg ha-1, haulm yield 2360 kg ha-1, harvest index (29.23) and BCR (2.20). T1 – control treatment, wherein no phytohormones were used recorded the least seed yield, haulm yield, harvest index and BCR.
