Abstract: Plant growth regulators are specific chemicals that regulate plant growth and development. Growth regulators are known to increase photosynthetic capacity and other physiological efficiencies. They can also improve how well accumulations in field crops are partitioned between sources and sinks. The present study was conceptualized and executed with the prime objective of study the effect of chlormequat chloride, Mepiquat chloride on morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters of soybean. The field trial was conducted following randomized block design with seven treatments replicated thrice. Soybean CV MAUS-162 served as the primary source material for this inquiry and different concentrations of growth retarding substance called chlormequat chloride. The Morphophysiological parameters, namely, Plant height, number of branches, number of leaves (trifoliates) per plant, dry matter accumulation in leaf and stem and AGR, RGR, NAR, LAI and CGR and was observed to increase significantly decreased with the application of chlormequat chloride and mepiquat chloride. The Biochemical parameters, namely, chlorophyll content was observed to increase significantly with application chlormequat chloride 50%SL at different concentrations compared to control. A significant increase in the seed protein content and Oil content was also noticed with the application of chlormequat chloride at different concentrations, compared to control. In conclusion, the study revealed the superiority of CCC (500 ppm) treatment for majority of the morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters at different growth stages, compared to other concentrations of growth retardant and control treatments studied in the present investigation for rabi soybean.
