    (Division of Agricultural Botany, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Vellayani, 1963) Philip Zachariah, K; Kumarapillai, P
    The present work was undertaken to study the effects of gibberellic acid, indole acetic acid and indole butyric acid on the vegetable crop, amaranthus (Amaranthus gangeticus L.). Three methods of treatment viz. seed treatment (soaking for 2 hours); seed treatment followed by one foliar spray on the 20th day, and two foliar sprays on 20th and 35th days were tried. All the hormones were used at concentrations of 10, 20 and 30 ppm. A pot culture experiment was conducted for the purpose, adopting a randomised block design.
