Abstract

In present study of different levels of foliar application in Litchi was carried out in Horticulture Research Farm, Shuats, Prayagraj, UP, India for different levels of plant growth regulators. GA3 (30 and 50ppm), NAA (30 and 50ppm) and CCC (30 and 50 ppm) have significant effect on plant height. The maximum plant height (132.62, 140.29, 150.22, 157.80, 165.21 and 191.01) at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 DAT was found in T2 50 ppm (GA3) followed by T130 ppm (GA3). The maximum plant canopy (45.25, 49.50, 53.29, 58.46, 68.43 and 88.18) at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 DAT was found in T2 50 ppm (GA3) followed by T130 ppm (GA3). Maximum chlorophyll (67.70SPAD meter) was found in T2 50 ppm (GA3) followed by T130 ppm (GA3), T450 ppm (NAA). The maximum number of panicle per plant (9.34) was found in T250 ppm (GA3) followed by T130 ppm (GA3). The research conducted will help to evaluate the better growth regulator for canopy and flowering in litchi .This will in turn help the plant to

Conclusion

Thus it can be concluded that the maximum number of panicle per plant (9.34) was found in T2 50 ppm (GA3) followed by T130 ppm (GA3), T450 ppm (NAA), T330 ppm (NAA) and T650 ppm (CCC). However minimum number of panicle per plant (6.55) was recorded T530 ppm (CCC). Thus these treatment will happen for the better management of canopy and flowering in Litchi.
