Influence of Auxin on Flowering, Fruit Set and Yield Performance of Yard Long Bean (Vigna unguiculata var. sesquipedalis)

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, to study the effects of different levels of nutrient management and the growth regulator Auxin on the growth and yield of yard-long bean. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) consisted with two factors. Factor A: four levels of nutrient management; i) N0: control (N0, P0, K0) Kg/ha; ii) N1: (N12 P18 K22) Kg/ha; iii) N2: (N18 P27 K33) Kg/ha; iv) N3: (N24 P36 K44) Kg/ha. Factor B: three levels of auxin (indole acetic acid); i) I0: control (0
