Abstract: The investigation was conducted at Horticulture Garden CSA University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during the year 2020-21. The experiment entitled ‘effect of foliar application of GA3 and NAA on yield and quality of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) cv. Banarasi Karaka’. The sprays of 30 ppm NAA significantly maximized (4.24 cm) length of fruit against control (N0) recorded 3.91 cm length. GA3 20 ppm significantly enhanced (4.48 cm) fruit length and the minimum of 3.86 cm showed under control. Significantly maximum 2.58 cm diameter obtain with NAA 30 ppm followed by NAA 40 ppm (2.46 cm) over control (N0) revealed 2.19 cm diameter. GA3 20 ppm significantly revealed 2.62 cm diameter against control (2.23 cm). Significantly maximum of 2.74 cm diameter exhibited under interactive treatment N2 G1 followed by N3 G1 (2.70 cm) against control 2.17 cm. NAA 20 ppm maximized of 14.57g fruit weight being significant against the minimum of 13.31g fruit weight indicated with control (N0). GA3 20 ppm significantly enhanced (14.60g) fruit weight against control (G0) (13.38 g) interactive treatment N1 G1 induced significantly maximum 15.87 g fruit weight against control N0 G0 (12.96 g). The yield was significantly increase under NAA 30 ppm dose (34.16 kg/tree) followed by NAA 40 ppm (33.36 kg/tree) against control (27.60 kg). Treatment of GA3 40 ppm significantly maximum (37.63 kg/tree) yield over control G0 (26.31 kg). Interactive treatment N2 G3 maximized (42.48 kg yield/tree) followed by N3 G3 (41.20 kg) over control N0 G0 (25.54 kg). NAA 40 ppm induced significantly maximum of 14.18 0Brix TSS content against control N0 (12.82 0Brix). GA3 20 ppm dose significantly improved (14.03 0Brix) TSS content over control G0 (13.13 0Brix). Significantly maximum of 15.14 0Brix TSS content was revealed with interactive treatment N3 G1 against control N0 G0 (12.82 0Brix). Treatment of NAA 20 ppm significantly maximized (107.78 mg/100g pulp) ascorbic acid over control N0 (86.26 mg). GA3 40 ppm significantly induced the maximum 107.50 mg ascorbic acid content/ 100g pulp against control G0 (75.71 mg). The maximum of 128.56 mg ascorbic acid was recorded under interactive treatment of N1 G3 over control N0 G0 (75.29 mg).
