]]>ShahShoukat Hussain 2200762Two pot trials were carried out on Nigella sativa L. at the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, during the winter seasons of 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 to analyze the effect of basal nitrogen at the rate of (0, 40, 60, 80 or 100 kg N ha-1) or either of two growth regulators (GA3 or KIN), each applied at 10-5 M at the vegetative stage (40 days after sowing), on seed, protein and oil yields and oil properties. The experiments were laid down according to randomized complete block design, with three replications. Analysis of the results revealed that, all these treatments significantly influenced capsule number, seed yield, seed protein content, seed oil and protein yields plant-1. The response to nitrogen was linear, being maximum with 80 kg N ha-1. Also, GA3 was found to produce better results than KIN. However, a decrease was noted in acid, iodine and saponification values of the oil following these treatments. Further, the seed oil content tended to decrease with increasing N dosages, but showed an appreciable increase upon the application of phytohormones.]]>Agarwal, P., M.D. Kharya and R.
