Abstract

Application of NAA @2.5 ppm increased the initial fruit set, while the highest final fruit set was obtained with 200 ppm zinc. Zinc at 100 ppm was found most effective for increasing fruit weight, length, diameter, and L/D ratio. SADH 1000 ppm proved to be the most effective treatment in increasing TSS, total and non-reducing sugars whereas ascorbic acid content increased with 100 ppm NAA.
