Abstract: The investigation entitled “Response of gibberellic acid and cycocel on growth, yield and quality of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] cv. AVCP-1” was conducted during summer 2017 at Fruit Research Station, Lal Baug, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, J. A. U., Junagadh. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications consist of two factor with sixteen treatments. Treatments consist of different level of GA3 (0,150,250 and 350) and CCC (0,200,300 and 400). Observations were recorded on the basis of five random competitive plants selected from each plot separately for morphological, growth analytical, phenological, and yield parameters were evaluated as per standard procedure and also estimate the economics. The results found that foliar application of GA₃ has significantly increase growth as well as yield attributes. However, growth retardant like cycocel reduced plant height and hence causing dwarfness to the plant. Among the different treatment, the foliar application of GA₃ at concentration of 150 and 250 ppm, whereas CCC at concentration of 200 ppm, was found to be better alternatives for boosting, up the production of Cowpea cv. AVCP-1.
