Regulation of Shoot Growth and Flowering in Mango Cv. Gulab Khas by Paclobutrazol
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Paclobutrozol (cultar) was used to induce flowering in mango cv. Gulab Khas during off year. It was applied in both on and off years. Effects were more pronounced in off year than on year. It was found that soil application of paclobutrazol @ 5 g a.i. per tree was most effective to induce more number of flowering shoots and improved the fruit set and fruit retention during the off year (1996 and 1999). Highest yield during off year was recorded under soil application of paclobutrazol @ 5gm a.i. per tree followed by 10 g a. i. per tree being 70.50 and 68.70 kg per tree, respectively. Soil treatment with paclobutrazol also improved the fruit quality attributes.
