Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Fruit Research Station, Lalbaugh, Junagadh Agricultural University, Gujarat in 2022-23 to 2023-24 using a Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice. Results showed that foliar spray of sucrose @ 10% (T3) recorded the highest number of hermaphrodite flowers per panicle (121.46) and number of fruits at grain stage (73.40). Foliar spray of NAA 25 ppm + boric acid @ 0.2% (T9) resulted in the highest number of fruits at pea stage (17.39), fruit set per cent at pea stage (23.56%), lowest fruit drop at pea stage (76.44%), highest TSS (23.60 °Brix), reducing sugar (5.25%), non-reducing sugar (10.11%), and total sugar (15.36%).The treatment with NAA 50 ppm + micronutrient mixture Grade-IV @ 1% (T8) recorded the highest fruit set per cent at grain stage (60.50%), number of fruits at marble stage (3.33), fruit set per cent at marble stage (93.91%), fruits per panicle (2.02), number of fruits per tree (330.96), yield (94.22 kg/tree, 9.42 t/ ha), net return (₹3,01,118), BCR (1.77) and lowest fruit drop at marble stage (80.94%).
