Abstract: The experiment entitled, Effect of plant growth regulators on yield and quality of sapota [Manilkara achras (Mill.) Forsberg] Cv. Kalipatti was carried out in Fruit Research Station, Himayat bagh, Aurangabad during 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and ten treatments. During investigation the sapota trees were sprayed with different plant growth regulator treatments viz. T1 i.e. SADH 50 ppm, T2 i.e. SADH 100 ppm, T3 i.e. SADH 150 ppm, T4 i.e. NAA 150 ppm, T5 i.e. NAA 200 ppm, T6 i.e. NAA 250 ppm, T7 i.e. GA3 50 ppm, T8 i.e. GA3 100 ppm, T9 i.e. GA3 150 ppm and T10 i.e. control. The effects of these treatments were noted on fruit quality and yield attributes of sapota. The results of experimentation confirmed the efficiency of plant growth regulators for better fruit growth attributes, yield and quality of sapota variety Kalipatti. The study revealed that GA3 at 150 ppm significantly increased the fruit size and yield of the fruits and GA3 at 100 ppm significantly increased the quality of fruits. Among various concentrations of plant growth regulators the treatment GA3 at 150 ppm was found significantly superior over all other treatments.
