Abstract :

The effect of composite herbal extracts Ultrasil 0.3%, Ultra K 0.2% and plant growth regulators such as γ – amino butyric acid ( GABA), putrisine and biotonic in 0.1% concentration on photosynthetic pigments i.e. Chlorophyll (a and b) and carotenoids was determined in field experiments conducted during 2012–2013. Foliar application of PGRs and herbal extracts promoted photosynthetic pigments in both normal and waterlogged condition. The application of growth stimulants improves the photosynthetic efficiency of the oil yielding pulse crop soybean. Thus these growth regulators ameliorates the adverse effects of waterlogging leading to the improvement in the overall performance in field condition.
