Summary
The influence of gibberellin on the yield response of paddy to nitrogen applied at heading was studied through seed yield and yield components and quality of seeds. The crop response to added nitrogen at heading increased with GA concentration upto 10 ppm. Seed quality in terms of seed protein and germination potential also improved with GA upto 10 ppm and showed a positive correlation with nitrogen level.
