Abstract: A field trial was carried out at farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, VNMKV, Parbhani during kharif season of 2019-20 to study the effect of plant growth regulators and fertilizer spray on yield and economics of Niger [Guizotia abyssinica (L.f.) Cass]." The experiment was laid out in RBD design with three replication and ten foliar sprayings of plant growth regulators and fertilizers such as T₁- 19:19:19 (1%), T₂ - Urea (1%) + DAP (1%), T₃ - DAP (2%), T₄ - Urea(2%), T₅ - Brassinosteroids (0.05%), T₆ -NATCA (50ppm), T₇ – NAA (20ppm), T₈- GA₃(20ppm), T₉ - Nitrobenzene (400ppm), T₁₀ - Control (no spray). The result of experiment revealed that among the treatments foliar application of Brassinosteroids (0.05%) (T₅) to Niger at bud initiation stage recorded significantly higher yield (531kg ha^-1) and gross monetary return(31229₹ha^-1) as compare to other treatments and which was at par with foliar application of NATCA(50PPM) and nitrobenzene(400PPM).
