Abstract

From the investigation it Can be Concluded that GA3 at 50ppm increased number of leaves fruit set, size and weight of berries, pulp content and yield of phalse fruit, where as maximum longer shoots were produced under foliar application of 60ppm GA3. Application of 1000ppm ethrel caused shorter harvest span, maximizing sugar content and producing less acidic fruits. The treatment of Calcium nitrate induced maximum T.S.S. content applied at 1.5% dose.
