ABSTRACT
Effect of foliar sprays of plant growth regulators viz. GA3 and NAA and nutrients like urea and KNO3 singly or in combination on growth and yield of hasta bahar acid lime fruits was studied during 2002-2003. Experiment was carried out adopting Randomized block design with nine treatments compared to control (no spray). Two foliar sprays at monthly interval were carried out and observations were recorded for growth and yield parameters. Results revealed that two foliar spray of KNO3 2% and GA3 100 ppm produced maximum vegetative growth, fruit size and fruit yield per tree.
Key words :
Acid lime, Citrus aurantifolia, Growth, Plant growth regulators, Yield.
