Abstract
A 2-year field study conducted4 Pantnagar showed that mlxtalol (Paras photosynth) ~ncreased grun or seed yield by 7,9, 6 and 15% in rice (Oryza satrva L ), soybean [Glyclne mar (L.) Merr.], wheat (Trrt~cum aestrvtim L emend. Fiori & Paol ) and mustard [Brassrca juncea (L ) Czemj. & Cosson], respect~vely. However, the increase in seed and stover yields was signficant only in mustard dunng both the seasons. The Increase in seed yield was attributed to siliquaelplant, seedslsillquea, and seed yleldl plant. The concentration of 4 ppm mixtalol sprayed 60 days after sowing was found most effect~ve and proved better than control (water spray) in mustard.References
