| Abstract | ||
| Pea (Pisum sativum intisar2 ) is one of the most important leguminous vegetable crops worldwide. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), benzyl adenine (BA) or their interaction on the growth vigor of both root and shoot, leaf area, pigment content as well as yield attributes and metabolism of pea plants. In the majority of cases, primily pea seeds in 10-9 µg/ml IAA, 10-6 µg/ml BA or their combination caused marked increase (p ≤ 0.05) in root, shoot growth vigor, pigment content, total soluble sugars, total protein of pea leaves as well as yield attributes (i.e pods number/plant, no of seeds/ pod and 100 seed weight). The magnitude of increase of pea plants was more pronounced in the following order: IAA > (IAA+BA)> BA. In conclusion, the results cleared that IAA is the best treatment for improving the growth and productivity of pea plants. | ||
