Abstract

This study explored the effects of foliar Spray of selected plant growth regulators (PGRs) on Spinacia oleracea L. and it is used as Copper sulfate at 50,100,150,200,250 ppm. Two sets of selected plants were prepared, one of them was treated with different concentration of copper and another set was kept as control. The analysis of foliar treated plants revealed the content of Total sugar (TS), Reducing Sugar (RS), Total protein (TP), Total Phenol (TPH), Total chlorophyll (TC).The physiological parameters which were measured are Height of Plants, Fresh weight of Roots, Fresh weight of leaves, Number of leaves. Soil parameters (Soil pH, Electrical conductivity, Organic carbon and Nitrogen, Boron and Sulphur, Potassium, phosphorous, Zinc, Copper and Iron) were also measured. From the result it was observed that plant growth in treated plants was better than control plants. There was a positive change in plant Growth.
