Abstract:
An experiment entitled “Effect of different concentrations of GA₃ and Zn on seed germination and growth of acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) cv. Phule Sharbati.” was executed in shade net of Horticultural Research cum Institutional farm under Pt. Kishori Lal, Shukla College of horticulture and Research station, Rajnandgaon in year 2021-2022. The experimental design applied was completely randomized design (CRD) with a total of seven treatments which were replicated three times. T0 (Control), T1 (GA3 @ 500 mg/l), T2 (GA3 @ 1000 mg/l), T3 (GA3 @ 2000 mg/l), T4 (ZnSO4 @ 500 mg/l), T5 (ZnSO4 @ 1000 mg/l) and T6 (ZnSO4 @ 2000 mg/l). The result revealed that treatment T1 (GA3 500 mg/l) was best for germination parameters, Treatment T3 i.e., GA3 2000 mg/l was found to be best for seedling growth parameters.
