Abstract:

A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of nutrient levels and plant growth regulators on protein content, test weight and post-harvest soil nutrient status of pearl millet during rabi 2016 at TNAU, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Ten treatments consists of nutrient levels and plant growth regulators were imposed using Randomized Block Design with three replications. Growth regulators are chemical substances helps to enhance plant growth, development of for high yield and improved grain quality or facilitated harvesting. Application of 125 % RDF (T1) treatment recorded more available nitrogen, available soil phosphorus was more in the treatment 100 % RDF + foliar application of chloromequat chloride @ 250 ppm at 20 and 40 DAS which at par with 125 % RDF + foliar application of NAA @ 250 ppm at 20 and 40 DAS and RDF treatments.   Application of 125 % RDF + foliar application of chloromequat chloride at 250 ppm at 20 and 40 DAS was more available soil potassium. There was no significant effect on protein and test weight content of pearl millet with nutrient levels and plant growth regulators application.
