Abstract: Purpose: Bangladesh is a populous country in the world. Almost 80% people suffer from malnutrition. It cannot meet its demand of vegetables in the country. It needs threefold increase of vegetable production to meet its demand. Growth regulators have serious effect on crop yield without imposing any deleterious effect on the environment and human health. Foliar application of NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) found to increase in plant height, number of leaves per plant, fruit size, with consequent in seed yield in different crops (Lee, 1990) [30]. Research Method: The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Four levels at different growth stage of garden pea viz. L1: Two leaf stage, L2: Four leaf stage, L3: Six leaf stage and L4: Full blooming stage. Factor B: Four levels of NAA viz. H0: 0 ppm of NAA (control), H1: 25 ppm, H2: 50 ppm and H3: 75 ppm. There were 16 treatment combinations. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Findings: Results of the study showed that the treatment combination of L3H3 performs the highest yield of pod per plant (24.09 t ha-1). So the combination of six leaf stage + 75 ppm NAA treatment is the suitable combination for the highest yield of garden pea cv. BARI Motorshuti-2. Research Limitation: Limited availability of historical data was a constraint during the study. Value: Further research works at different regions of the country are needed to be carried out for the confirmation of the present findings.
