Effect of IBA and 2, 4-D on morphology and biochemical characteristics of Radish (Raphanus sativus)
Abstract:
A study was carried out to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators (PGR) on certain morphological and biochemical parameters of Raphanussativus. The plant growth regulator(IBA and 2,4-D) were applied individually in following concentrations IBA (2 ppm and 4 ppm) and 2,4-D (2 ppm and 4ppm).Experimental design was randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Maximum root length was observed in 2, 4-D application with both concentrations (2ppm, 4ppm). TSS was maximum in control and 2 ppm of 2, 4-D and these two are at par with each other.Maximum acidity was observed by the application of IBA @ 2 and 4 ppm concentrations. However less acidity was observed in control as compared to others.The recorded data was statistically analyzed using Statistics software at 5% probability level under RCBD. Least Significant Difference (LSD) test was applied for comparing the differences among treatment means.
