Rice is consumed by half of the world’s population. It
is a model monocotyledonous crop. In this communication,
the effect of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA)
on the growth, yield attributes and yield is elaborated.
Results show that NAA, a synthetic auxin, when
applied in spray influences the life cycle of rice via
metabolic processes to manifest beneficially through
translocating assimilates from source to sink, and
hence the yield.
