Bioefficacy of paclobutrazol on growth, flowering, fruiting and yield attributes of mango cv. Dashehari under Pantnagar agro-climatic condition

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: The investigation was carried out to find out the bioefficacy of paclobutrazol on regular bearing of mango cv.Dashehari.Paclobutrazol was applied as soil drench around the tree trunk @ 15ml, 20ml, 25ml, 30ml, 35ml, 60ml and 30ml (ES)/ tree along with control.There was significant variations observed in growth, flowering, fruiting, yield and quality attributes due to different doses of paclobutrazol.Treatment T 4 (paclobutrazol 30ml/tree) was found superior with respect to yield and quality parameters.It was found to reduce vegetative growth and increase flowering, fruit set, fruit retention, yield attributes, TSS, sugars, ascorbic acid and β carotene content.Therefore, it is finally recommended that paclobutrazol @ 30 ml/ tree should be applied for getting maximum fruit yield without affecting the fruit quality.
