Author(s): Chahat Thakur and CL Sharma
Abstract: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) belongs to the family Punicaceae and it is one of the favourite table fruits in the world, due to its refreshing juice with nutritional and medicinal properties. Plant growth regulators provide effective means for the improvement of productivity as a result of direct influence on the qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of fruit growth. So, an investigation was carried out in the Pomegranate Block of Model farm of Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P), India during the year 2016 and 2017. The pomegranate trees cv. Kandhari under investigation were subjected to foliar spray of plant growth regulators viz. NAA, GA3, 6-BA, their combination and control at different concentrations. The study was conducted to determine the effect of plant growth regulators on physico-chemical parameters of fruits. On the basis of results obtained in the present investigation it is concluded that plant growth regulators and nutrients application revealed NAA 30ppm (May and June) to be most effective as it improves the quality of pomegranate.
