Abstract
The experiment was conducted in the farm area of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the period of July to November,
2015 to find out the effect of plant growth regulator-flora on the growth and
yield of transplanted aman rice. BR 11

- Applications of RFD + 2 times spray of Flora was the superior among the other
