摘要：An experiment was carried out at the research farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) during the period from November 2010 to April 2011 to study on growth and yield performance of cowpea cv. BARI Falon -1 under different treatment of GA 3 as foliar spray to investigate the responses and most optimum level of gibberelic acid regarding growth and yield of Falon that are suitable to cultivate in coastal region of Bangladesh. Among the GA 3 treatments, 33.33 ppm GA 3 produced significantly the tallest plant (61.07 cm), maximum leaves and branches plant –1 (28.50 and 19.73, respectively), higher LAI (1.10) and higher TDM plant –1 (81.95 g) comparatively than that of other GA 3 levels while control had lower on the above characters. Growth characters such as CGR, RGR and NAR had also higher (0.99 and 1.65 gm –2 day -1 for CGR, 0.43 and 0.72 gm –2 day –1 for RGR and 0.027 and 1.275 mg cm 2 day –1 for NAR) in 33.33 ppm GA 3 at the stage between 30 to 60 DAS and 60 to 90 DAS, respectively Yield contributing characters Among other observation of yield and yield contributing characters, 33.33 ppm GA 3 further registered the maximum pods plant –1 (11.50), longest pod (17.05 cm), higher weight fresh (3.78 g) and dry pod (1.99 g), higher weight of 100–seed (12.25), seed yield (18.57 g plant –1 and 2986.72 kg ha –1 ) and higher HI (22.45%). These results also showed that GA3 up to 33.33 ppm signifciantly developmend morpho–physiological, growth, yield and yield contributing characters and thereafter all the data decreased due to its destructive effect of higher GA 3 levels. So, considering the above observation it could be suggested that GA 3 @ 33.3 ppm would be appropriate doses of GA 3 for obtaining the better produciton of BARI Falon-1 under resion.
