The production of Polygalacturanase (PG), Polygalacturanase transeliminase (PGTE) and Pectic Trans Eliminase (PTE) were measured and the results showed that, all the enzymes production reduced significantly in all the treatments with increasing levels of potassium when compared to control. The maximum and minimum inhibition was observed at 100-kg k2o ha^-1 levels respectively. PG production was considerably inhibited in all the treatments. Maximum inhibition of 44.44 per cent was noticed in 100-kg k2o ha^-1 when compared to control. Minimum inhibition of 14.37 per cent was noticed in 25 kg k2o ha^-1 level. PGTE and PTE production also followed the same pattern, recording the maximum and minimum percentage of reduction of 73.33 and 26.66, 72.17 and 20.00 per cent respectively over control.
