M.R. ZINZALA, P.P. BHALERAO and S.J. PATIL. 2017. Effect of foliar application of plant growth regulators on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.) var. GG-3. Green Farming Vol. 8 (2) : 483-485 ; March-April, 2017

ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during rabi season of 2014-15 for evaluating the effect of foliar application of plant growth regulators on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.) var. GG-3 in Randomized Block Design with three replications and 9 treatments comprising of GA3 (50 and 100mg/1), NAA (50 and 100mg/1), cycocel (500 and 1000 mg/1), ethrel (100 and 150 mg/1) and control. Results revealed that among the different treatments of plant growth regulators, plant height at 60 and 90 DAS were found significantly highest in application of NAA 50 mg/1. The treatment cycocel 1000 mg/1 recorded maximum number of leaves per plant at 60 DAS (8.80) and 90 DAS (10.20 cm), highest fresh (32.39 g) and dry (12.39 g) of bulb weight, diameter of bulb (4.92 cm), number of cloves per bulb (19.52), highest length of clove per bulb (3.06 cm), highest weight of clove per bulb (1.91 g), yield per plot (3.52 kg) and yield/ha (9.57 tonne). In case of quality parameters, there was non-significant result in terms of total soluble solids (%). Economic point of view, the maximum net return with BCR (3.94) was achieved under the treatment of cycocel 1000 mg/1.
