ABSTRACT

In the post shooting spray experiments, foliar spray of potassium di hydrogen phosphate
(0.5%) + urea (1%) + 2, 4-D (20ppm) and SOP at 1.5 per cent resulted in obtaining higher yield
with good quality fruits and relatively higher cost :benefit ratio. Thus, the overall study clearly
indicates the benefit of giving post shoot application. Hence, it can be concluded that either
SOP at 1.5 % or combination of 0.5 % potassium di hydrogen phosphate + 1% urea + 20 ppm
2,4-D as foliar spray twice, first at the time of last hand emergence and repeated after 30 days so
as to produce quality bunches, which is cost wise very economical
