ABSTRACT
The present investigation was carried out to investigate "Effect of foliar feeding of urea, zinc sulphate and plant growth regulators on yield and quality of aonla fruit (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) cv. chakaiya . The experiment was concluded at Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture. & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) in India. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with nine treatments, replication thrice and considering one plant as a unit. The observations were recorded flowering and fruiting behaviour, physical and chemical characters of aonla fruits. The minimum fruit drop and maximum fruit retention, size, weight, volume, pulp: stone ratio, yield, total soluble solids (TSS), total sugar ascorbic acid, reduction of acidity and total phenol were recorded with the foliar application ofT9 (20 ppm GA3 + 0.25% zinc sulphate + 50 ppm NAA + 2% urea). The fruit yield was also recorded maximum with the application of same treatment. Over all it can be concluded that combined spray of T9 (20 ppm GA3 + 0.25% Zinc sulphate+ 50 ppm NAA + 2% urea).Was found to be best for higher yield and better fruit quality.
