Abstract:
The research trial was carried out at Fruit Research station Aurangabad, during the year 2021-22. The trial was laid out in randomized block design with eleven treatments replicated thrice. Two foliar application of PGR’s, humic acid & biomix (microbial consortium) was given at pea and marble stage of fruit development. The result of the investigation reported that, The treatment T₃ NAA (25ppm) had the significantly highest number of hermaphrodite flowers per panicle (162.01), Number of days taken from flowering to fruit setting treatment T₄ (NAA 30ppm) and T₆ (Triacontanol 750ppm) had the significantly lowest number of days taken from flowering to fruit setting (17.00), T₆ (Triacontanol 750ppm) had the significantly lowest number of days taken from fruit set to harvest (103.80), The treatment T₆ (Triacontanol 750ppm) had the significantly highest fruit retention at harvesting stage (1.00%). The data on effect of chemicals and biomix on yield observation, However, there were non-significant differences were recorded in length of fruit (cm), breadth of fruit (cm), volume of fruit (ml). The Treatment T₆ (Triacontanol 750ppm) had the significantly maximum weight of fruit (320.50 g), maximum number of fruit (89.50), was recorded. However, the maximum yield per plant (29.39 kg) was recorded in the treatment T₆ (Triacontanol 750ppm). Where as, the minimum yield per plant (11.86kg) was recorded in treatment T₁₁ (control). However, the maximum yield per hectare (16.31 t) was recorded in the treatment T₆ (Triacontanol 750ppm). Whereas, minimum yield per hectare (6.58 t) was recorded in the treatment T₁₁ (Control).
