Abstract: Plant growth regulators are one of the most important factors for increasing higher yield in leafy pulses. Application of growth regulators has good management effect on growth and yield of field crops. An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Student instructional Farm (SIF), Nawabganj, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur, during the two consecutive years i.e. 2014-15 and 2015-16. A chick pea variety ‘Uday’ was given foliar spray of GA3, Kinetin, NAA, CCC and IAA as treatment variables to study the growth parameters of chickpea variety. Plant growth characters like crop growth rate (CGR), Relative Growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate, days to flowering and days to maturity were significantly influenced with different treatment combinations of growth regulators. The maximum increase in CGR was observed by application of IAA 40ppm closely followed by CCC 2000ppm. Maximum RGR observed with application of IAA 20ppm. Maximum assimilation rate was obtained by the treatment of IAA 20ppm.
