ABSTRACT

There is huge potential to improve market acceptability of ber with application of growth regulators. Significant increase in fruit size traits i.e. fruit length, breadth, weight and volume was recorded with application of NAA 30 ppm. The palatability rating of fruits in terms of taste, colour and texture of fruit was recorded maximum with application of GA3 50 ppm. For the stone related traits, the maximum reduction in stone breadth and percentage was recorded with NAA 30 ppm. There was no significant variation in stone length and weight with growth regulators.
