Abstract: The investigation was conducted in the farmer’s field of Tulasigiri village, in Bagalkot taluk Bagalkot district during 2017-18 with an objective to study the effect of foliar application of gibberellic acid and nutrients on quality of pomegranate cv. Bhagwa. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatments with three replications laid out in Randomized Block Design. Among the different treatments, foliar application of GA3 @ 100 ppm + CaCl2 2% + borax 0.2% + MgSO4 0.5% has recorded the maximum total sugar (15.73%), reducing sugar (15.33%), total soluble solids (15.70°Brix) content, juice percentage (44.66%), highest shelf life (29.00 days) and least physiological loss in weight. There was no incidence of fruit cracking in the experimental plot. Among the different treatments, the plants treated with GA3 @ 100 ppm + CaCl2 2% + borax 0.2% + MgSO4 0.5% influenced the improved fruit growth, increased yield and better B:C as compared to other treatments.
