Summary

An experiment was conducted in 1964 and 1965 to study the effects of hormone sprays on pod setting, pod filling and grain yield of black gram. Sprays of 2-naphthoxyacetic acid and p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, alone and in 'mixture, and gibberellic acid and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid increased pod setting, but grain filling in pods and grain size were only slightly improved. 2-naphthoxyacetic acid gave the highest yield, followed by p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and a mixture of the first two, which increased yield by 56, 39, 36 and 35 per cent respectively over the control and gave economic returns.
