Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators on morphological characters in Green Gram’’ was conducted during Kharif (2017) at Field Experimentation Centre of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agricultural Instute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, U.P. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications in field with an objective to study the effect of 10 different treatments on quantitative characters. Observations were recorded and analyzed for 11 yield characters viz: Plant height (cm), days to 50% flowering, number of branches, number of pods, seed index, pods weight (g), days to maturity, number of seeds, biological yield and seed yield per plant (g) were significantly higher due to plant growth regulators. The treatment T9 [Cytokinin @75 ppm] exhibited maximum effect on five growth and yield characters viz., (seed yield per plant, biological yield, days to 50% flowering, seed yield and pods weight) followed by T8 [Cytokinin @50 ppm]. The treatment T3 [NAA @75 ppm] exhibited maximum effect on plant height and T2 [NAA @50 ppm] exhibited maximum value for number of branches.
