FOLIAL APPLICATION OF CHITOSAN IMPROVED MORPHOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES AND YIELD IN SUMMER MUNGBEAN (Pages : 1 - 3)

Chitosan improves crop growth and yield and also stimulates immunity of plants. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of foliar application of chitosan on growth and yield of summer mungbean. The experiment comprised five levels of chitosan concentrations viz., 0 (control), 25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm. The chitosan was sprayed two times, 25 and 35 days after sowing. Foliar application of chitosan increased plant height, number of branches, pods plant-1, biomass and seed yield plant-1. The highest yield was recorded at 50 ppm followed by 75 ppm and 25 ppm. Therefore, foliar application of chitosan at 50 ppm may be used at early growth stage for getting higherseed yield of summer mungbean.Download
