Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out at Experimental area, College of Agriculture, Gwalior (M.P.) during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The experiment aimed at finding out the effect of growth regulators and chemicals on flowering and fruiting patterns of acid lime. T₁₀ (GA₃60 ppm + Cycocel 2000 ppm +Thiourea 2%) was found to be significantly superior to rest of the treatments under study but was reported to be at par with T₉ (GA₃60 ppm + Cycocel 2000 ppm + Thiourea 1%) for all the parameters like Days to first flowering (43.00, 41.67 and 42.33 during first, second and pooled year), Number of flowers per shoot (141, 146 and 144 during first, second and pooled year respectively), Initial fruit set (51.53, 51.60 and 51.57% during first, second and pooled year respectively), Fruit retention at harvest (27.63, 27.34 and 27.49% during first, second and pooled year respectively).
