An experiment entitled "Effect of post shooting bunch spray of chemicals on bunch characters and yield of banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) cv. Grand Naine" was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during the year 2015-2016. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with twelve treatments and three replications. The treatments included GA3 @ 50 mg l-1 (T1), GA3 @ 100 mg l-1 (T2), NAA @ 50 mg l-1 (T3), NAA @ 100 mg l-1 (T4), Ethephon @ 0.1 ml l-1 (T5), Ethephon @ 0.2 ml l-1 (T6), CPPU @ 1 mg l-1 (T7), CPPU @ 2 mg l-1 (T8), Brassinosteroid @ 1 mg l-1 (T9), Brassinosteroid @ 2 mg l-1 (T10), SOP @ 1.5% (T11) and Control (T12). The first spray was given immediately after complete opening of the bunch and second spray was given at 20 days after first spray. The results of present investigation revealed that the banana bunches when sprayed Brassinosteroid @ 2 ml l-1 found effective in higher bunch size (length and girth), finger size (length and girth), finger weight, weight of third hand, bunch weight and fruit yield of banana.
