Abstract

Studies on the effect of spacing (6x6, 3x3 and 6x1.5m) and paclobutrazol (0,5,10, 15 and 20 m1/L of water/tree) revealed that trunk girth, tree height, canopy volume, shoot length and internodal length were more at 6x6m spacing while the leaf size did not vary significantly. Paclobutrazol treatment significantly reduced all the growth parameters of Shan-i-Punjab peach at all the three planting distances.
