Author(s): Jyoti Singh, AK Dwivedi and Poornima Devi
Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Garden, Department of Horticulture, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur in the year 2016- 2017. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments in each replication consisting of three levels of each growth regulator i.e. GA3 at 10, 20, 30 ppm, NAA at 20, 30, 40 ppm and 2,4-D at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 ppm. The observations were recorded for five characters viz., diameter of fruit (cm), length of fruit per plant (cm), weight of fruit per plant (g), total soluble solid (brix), weight of 100 seed per fruit. The results showed that the use of GA3, NAA and 2,4-D at specific concentration (GA3 at 30 ppm, NAA at 30 ppm and 2,4-D at 5 ppm) in combination considerably increased the weight of fruit and significantly increased increases length of fruit (312 cm).
