An investigation carried out during kharif 2000 & 2001 to evaluate the performance of growth regulators (GA, IBA and NAA) each with three concentrations (50,100 and 150ppm) and spacings (45x30,60x30 and 60x45cm) revealed that seed yield/plant incre increased significantly with the treatment of GA, in wider spacing (60x45cm) with pronounced improvement in seed quality of harvest i.e. vigour index and speed of germination. Though maximum yield was obtained in close spacing (45x30cm) whereas emergence remained unaffected with spacings. Significant beneficial effect of GA, (150ppm concentration) was found good for seed yield.
