Abstract: An experiment was conducted with the objective to advance and enhance the buddabiltiy in rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush) seedlings comprising foliar application of T1 (GA3 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T2 (GA3 50 ppm + Urea 1%), T3 (GA3 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T4 (GA3 100 ppm + Urea 1%), T5 (NAA 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T6 (NAA 50 ppm + Urea 1%), T7 (NAA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T8 (NAA 100 ppm + Urea 1%), T9 (ABA 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T10 (ABA 50 ppm + Urea 1% ), T11 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T12 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 1%) and T13 (Control) twice after 30 and 60 days after transplanting. Maximum seedling height 95.83cm and numbers of leaves 98.17/plant was measured in treatment T4 (GA3 100 ppm + Urea 1%)at 180 days after transplanting. Maximum stem diameter 7.16mm was measured in treatment T11 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%). The highest per cent seedlings 57.14, 76.19 and 95.24% attained buddable stage in treatment T11 at 150 DAT, 165 DAT and 180 DAT respectively. Overall, foliar spray of ABA (100 ppm + Urea 0.5%) twice at 30 and 60 DAT resulted in 57% buddable seedling over control (14%) in rough lemon rootstock 150 DAT.
