Abstract


Effect of growth regulator (Double-brassinolide) was studied on nodulation, nodular protein and leghaemoglobin at three different stages of plant growth in moongbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R Wilczek syn. Phaseolus aureus Rox). Significant increase in nodulation, viz. number, weight and size of nodules was observed. Nodular protein and leghaemoglobin were also enhanced till later stage of growth. The enhancement effect was observed with lower concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 ppm), against control.
