Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the spring season of 2017 at the Agricultural Experimental Farm Baruipur of Institute of Agricultural Science of Calcutta University, located in the Gangetic region of West Bengal, India for making a reasonable assessment to study the effect of foliar nutrients and growth regulator on the growth and relative economics of spring hybrid Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. Var. GKSF-2002). A total of six foliar nutrients, including Water spray (T1), KCl@ 0.5% (T2), KNO3 @ 0.5% (T3), DAP @1.5% (T4), N P K 10:26:26 @1.5% (T5) and NaCl @0.25% + Turmeric @ 0.25% (T6) and four levels of growth regulator including Cycocel @ 0.2% (T7), Cycocel @0.25% (T8), Cycocel @ 0.3% (T9) and Cycocel @ 0.25% + N P K 10:26:26 @1.5% (T10) were established. The treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications.

The treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications.
The stem girth (cm), dry matter accumulation per plant and crop growth rate (g/plant) were superior in T10, T5 and T8 compared to T1, T2, T3, T4, T6, T7 and T9. According to the results for the growth, the order was T10>T5>T8>T4 respectively. The results showed that using a foliar application of Cycocel @ 0.25% + N P K 10:26:26 @1.5% increased the growth of sunflower significantly, as compared to the other treatments. Higher cost of cultivation per hectare was recorded with the treatment of T3 followed by treatments of T9 and T8. Lowest cost of cultivation per hectare was obtained by treatment T1. Higher gross returns per hectare was recorded with the treatment T10 followed by treatments of T5, T4 and T8. Higher net returns per hectare was recorded with the treatment T5, T10 and these treatments are significantly superior over T7. The higher BC ratio (3.31) was recorded with T5 followed by (3.04) with foliar spray of T4 and (2.90) with the treatment T6 (NaCl @0.25% + Turmeric @ 0.25%).
