Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the possible effect of plant growth regulators with different concentration levels as a foliar application on the yield, quality and economics of cauliflower cv Pant Shubhra. The experiment was carried out under randomized block design (RBD) with three replicates. The important parameters encompassed in the study were Curd yield (kg plot^-1), Curd yield (q ha^-1), Total soluble solids (⁰Brix), Protein content in curd (%), Total cost of cultivation, Gross income, Benefit cost ratio and Net income. Although all the treatments showed a positive effect on yield, quality and economics but, T₆ revealed most significant influence on all parameters under study as compared to T₁ (control). Therefore, foliar application is suitable way to feed the cauliflower crop to enhance the marketable yield, quality and economics.
