Abstract: The present investigation entitled "studies on foliar application of plant growth regulators and chemicals on yield & quality of pomegranate cv. Phule Bhagwa Super" was undertaken at experimental farm of Horticulture section, College of Agriculture, Dhule. The experiment was laid out in the Randomised Block Design with twelve treatments and three replications with fifteen days interval from fruit set stage. The experimental results indicated that, there were significant difference in fruit set %, average fruit weight (gm), number of fruits plant-1, length of fruit (gm), diameter of fruit (cm) and yield plant-1 which was highest in FeSO4 – 0.5% + ZnSO4 – 0.5% + GA3 - 50ppm. Days from flowering to fruit set were not influenced by the treatments studied. The economics of pomegranate cultivation with foliar application of plant growth regulator and chemicals showed a wide range of variation in cost of cultivation, gross monetary returns, net monetary returns and B:C ratio (2.85) were obtained in the treatment T11 (FeSO4 - 0.5% + ZnSO4 - 0.5% + GA3 - 50ppm) and lowest was observed in the treatment T12(control). The overall results indicated that foliar application of FeSO4– 0.5% + ZnSO4 – 0.5% + GA3 - 50ppm was significantly found to be beneficial to the economically important characters viz. fruit set, number of fruits, average fruit weight and yield plant-1 and the cost benefit ratio was 2.85.
