Abstract: Apical dominance is the result of the presence of auxin in the meristem zone of plant, which hinders the production of lateral shoots in papaya. An investigation to study the effect of plant growth regulators, detopping and their combination in initiation of lateral shoots in papaya (Carica papaya) var. Vinayak was carried out during March – June at Fruit Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. Among all the treatments, Detopping + (500 ppm BAP + 100 ppm GA) spray was found to significantly influence the days of 1st shoot initiation (5.6), number of shoots per plant after 15 days and 45 days (60 and 80.16 respectively) and number of lateral shoots per plant suitable of cuttings (66.17).
