Title : Response of irrigation and plant bio-regulators spray on seed yield and quality of Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) Material Type: printed text Authors: R. P. Ghimire, Author ; N. R. Devkota, Author ; D. Devkota, Author ; M. P. Sharma, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 151-158 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Seed attributing characters, germination, test weight, seedling vigor Abstract: Lower seed yield and quality is one of the major issues of the Egyptian clover cultivation in Nepal. In order to develop technologies to increase the seed yield, and to improve the seed quality, an experiment was done in the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Khajura, Banke, Nepal during November, 2017 to May, 2018, by using Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. Treatments composed of two factors combination of irrigation (zero irrigation, and two times irrigations after cutting for fodder); and spraying of plant bio-regulators (no spray, and two times foliar spray of plant bioregulators at the pre-flowering stage). The plot size was 12 m2 . The parameters measured included seed yield, biological yield of whole plant above ground level, seed attributing characters, and seed quality. The irrigation and application of plant bio-regulators alone, significantly (p characters of the seed. Thus the results of this experiment revealed that providing two irrigations to the Egyptian clover in 15 days interval after taking one cutting for fodder in 60 days after sowing, and two times foliar spray of plant bio-regulators in seven days interval at pre-flowering stage could increase its seed yield and overall seed quality aspects.
