Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Influence of new generation PGRs on physical parameter of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Dashehari” was conducted at Horticulture experiment Station, Baramunda, OUAT, Bhubaneswar during the year 2017-19. The objective of this experiment was to improve the quality (Physical character) of mango Cv. Dashehari by using Brassinostroids and Triacontanol. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication and 12 treatments. Comprising spraying of Brassinostroids (@ each 0.5 and 1.0 ppm), Triacontanol (@ each 300, 500 and 700ppm) and control and its combination. The observations on different characters of fruit Viz. Length of fruit (cm), Girth of fruit (cm), Shape index, Weight of fruit (g), Volume of fruit (ml), Mesocarp-pulp (g), Exocarp- Peel (g), Endocarp-stone (g), Pulp: Peel ratio and Pulp peel stone percentage (%) were recorded. Among the treatments T₁₀ (1 ppm BRs and 300 ppm triacontanol) recorded maximum increase in Length of fruit (8.98cm), Girth of fruit (4.95cm), Weight of fruit (182.99g), Volume of fruit (191.02ml), Mesocarp-pulp (135.31g), Pulp: Peel ratio(6.05), Pulp peel stone percentage (25.43%) with least weight of Exocarp- Peel (22.27g) and Endocarp-stone (22.68g),. Shape index (2.15) found maximum in control.
