Abstract: An investigation on “Effect of plant growth regulators on growth, yield and quality of sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] cv. Phule Mosambi†was carried out at Horticultural Research Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during March to October, 2018. The growth attributing characters like incremental plant height (8.17 cm), plant spread N-S (8.33 cm) and E-W (8.17 cm) were obtained maximum with GA3100 mg/l. NAA 100 mg/l and NAA 150 mg/l significantly increased fruit retention (68.67%). The maximum number of fruits per plant (184.67) and yield per plant (42.47 kg) recorded with NAA 150 mg/l. The quality parameters like juice content (48.62%) and ascorbic acid (40. 67 mg/100 ml juice) were found maximum with GA3 100 mg/l. The significantly higher TSS (10.00 ̊ Brix) and lower acidity (0.47%) were recorded with 2, 4-D 30 mg/l. The maximum reducing sugar (4.48%) was obtained with GA3 150 mg/l. Application of NAA 100 mg/l gave maximum non reducing sugar (3.11%) and total sugar (7.14%) than control.
