Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the impact of brassinolide on the physico-chemical properties of mango cv. Amprapali at the Regional Research Station, Gayeshpur, Nadia, and West Bengal, India during 2020-2021 in alluvial zone. Five treatments were included in the randomized block design of the trial viz. T₁: Brassinolide 0.5mg/l, T₂: Brassinolide 1mg/l, T₃: Brassinolide 1.5mg/l, T₄: Brassinolide 2mg/l and T₅: control (water spray) and 4 replications. The brassinolide treated plants produced superior fruits in terms of quality as compared to the control treated ones. Fruit weight (g), fruit yield (no. of fruits per plant), TSS (^obrix), total sugar (%), titratable acidity (%) and βcarotene (µg/100g) were influenced by brassinolide treatment. Among the different treatments, the treatment with Brassinolide 1mg/l (T2) of water proved to be superior and enhanced both the physical as well as biochemical properties of mango cv Amrapali.
