Field trial was conducted to evaluate the levels of nutrients and growth regulators on quality of seed protein content, grain weight, and soil fertility status in pearl millet in rabi season of 2019-2021 at Department of Millets, Directorate of PB&G (Plant Breeding and Genetics), TNAU (Tamil Nadu Agricultural University), Coimbatore. The experiment was conducted for three years and ten treatments were tried with replicated thrice. Plant Growth regulator is a chemical substances that help for developing growth of plant, progress for high yield, get superior quality of grain. The treatment 125% Recommended dose of fertilizer with chlormequat chloride at 250 ppm) (parts per million) on 20 and 40 days after sowing recorded maximum grain protein content, test weight and nutrients uptake during the crop growing period. Simultaneously 125% Recommended dose of fertilizer with foliar appli.. View more»
