 ABSTRACT

Andrographis paniculata, commonly known as Kalmegh or green chirata, is used both in Ayurvedic and Unani system of medicines because of its immunological, antibacterial and hepatoprotective properties. It is an annual herb has high value compound used in the treatment of the various diseases. A field experiment was conducted at Farmer field Village, Badiyakhedi, District Sehore (Madhya Pradesh) during Kharif 2015 & 2016. Investigations undertaken aiming to increase the growth and yield traits of Kalmegh. Application of different plant growth hormones viz.,Cycocel @100ppmm, Cycocel@150ppm, Cycocel@200ppm, GA3 @100, GA3@150ppm, GA3@200ppm, NAA@100ppm, NAA@150ppm and water spray as control to study the influence  of plant growth hormones on growth viz.,  plant height (cm) plant-1, number of branches plant-1, fresh weight of plant (g) dry weight of plant (g),  leaf area cm2plant-1, chlorophyll index (SPAD), photosynthesis rate (μmol CO2 mˉ ² s-­¹), CO2 (ppm) utilization and H2O (Kpa) utilization  at 90 DAT and yield viz.,  1000-seed weight (g), seed yield (kg ha-1), dry herbage yield (q ha-1) and active ingredient content (Kg ha-1) in  Kalmegh at maturity. Application of different plant growth hormones significantly increased the maximum number of branches  plant-1 under foliar sprayed with Cycocel @100ppm,  maximum plant height-1, fresh weight of plant, dry  of plant,  photosynthesis rate, CO2 utilization (ppm) and H2O utilization (Kpa) recorded under foliar spray with GA3@100ppm,  respectively.

Keywords: GA3, Cycocel, NAA spray, Photosynthesis rate, H2O utilization.
