An investigation was carried out to assess the Effect of different combinations of PGRs and micronutrients on quality of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Pusa Nanha during 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Central Research Field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agricultural Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, U.P. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with fifteen treatment combinations replicated thrice. Observations were recorded during both years of successive experiment on Total soluble solids (T.S.S.), Sugars and Ascorbic acid. Among them different treatment combination of PGR and micronutrients foliar application of Copper sulphate 0.25%+ Manganese sulphate 0.25%+ GA3 60 ppm (T14) proved to be the best treatment in terms of T.S.S., reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, total sugar and ascorbic acid. The maximum total soluble solids 10.31 was obtained with foliar application of Copper sulphate 0.25%+ Manganese sulphate 0.25%+ GA3 60 ppm (T14), while the minimum total soluble solids 5.42 was obtained in control. The maximum Ascorbic acid 22.93 was obtained with foliar application of Copper sulphate 0.25%+ Manganese sulphate 0.25%+ GA3 60 ppm (T14). The maximum total sugar 9.41 was obtained with foliar application of Copper sulphate 0.25%+ Manganese sulphate 0.25%+ GA3 60 ppm (T14)
