Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the “Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Growth and Flowering of Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Kandhari in Allahabad Agro-Climatic Conditions” at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (U.P) during the year 2016-2017. The experiment consisted of 10 treatments with three replications laid out in Randomized Block Design. The growth regulators applied were NAA (20 ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm), GA3 (25 ppm, 50 ppm, 75 ppm), 2, 4-D (20 ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm). Control plants were fed no growth regulators. The results revealed that application of GA3 at 75 ppm showed maximum plant height (194.90 cm), spread of plant (194.20 cm), canopy volume (3.81 m3), internode length (8.07 cm), shoot length (15.57 cm), plant girth (3.24 cm), leaf area (7.37 cm2), and number of flowers per plant (29.01). The minimum days to flowering (23.67) were recorded under 40 ppm NAA.
