Fruit Cracking

A field experiment was conducted at Fruit Research Farm of Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to evaluate the effect of micronutrients and plant growth regulators on fruit cracking and fruit yield in pomegranate cv. Jodhpur Red. The treatments comprising of two micronutrients (H3BO3 and ZnSO4 at 0.20, 0.40, 0.60 %), two growth regulators (2,4-D and NAA at 10, 20, 40 ppm) and water were applied fifteen and thirty days after fruit set. Occurrence of premature fruit cracking was more as compared to mature fruits during both the stages of application. Longitudinal (radial) cracking was more as compared to diagonal (transverse) cracking. 2,4-D and NAA at 10 ppm recorded significantly lower incidence of cracking than all other treatments. Highest fruit yield per acre (50.8 q) was obtained with NAA at 20 ppm when applied fifteen days after fruit set; while 2,4-D at 10 ppm recorded maximum fruit yield when applied thirty days after fruit set.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the basic and applied aspects of different plant growth regulators in the regulation of growth and development of cucumber plants. The study is completely based on the use of secondary sources of data; related journals, government institutes, and relevant reports. Foliar application of PGRs has been shown to change the physiological and developmental processes, including plant vegetative growth, sex expression, yield, and yield components in cucumber. There are basically two types of growth regulators; plant growth promoters such as auxin, gibberellins, cytokinins, maleic hydrazide, ethephon, etc. and plant growth inhibitors such as ethylene, abscisic acids, dormins, etc. The combined use of auxins and gibberellins result in increased secondary growth. Maleic hydrazide (MH) along with Ethephon at 100 ppm each increases the number of nodes and primary branches.  Ethrel at 300-400 ppm retards the secondary development and increase femaleness, and at 200-300 ppm make fruit surface smooth. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 400 ppm enhances the maleness in cucumber. Application of Ethephon at 300 ppm reduces the harvesting time of the fruit. Salicylic acid (at 2 doses of 0.07 mm/l + 0.18 mm/l) increases chlorophyll content and its exogenous application increases the fruit yield. Maleic Hydrazide (MH) alone at 100 ppm increases the femaleness, inhibits apical growth at 50-100 ppm, and increases fruit size at 200 ppm. Therefore, various auxin [indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), NAA], auxin transport inhibitor (TIBA), cytokinins (KIN), gibberellin [gibberellic acid (GA3)], ABA, ethylene [(2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethrel; ethephon; CEPA)] and growth retardant (MH) have been applied to control the vegetative growth and to maximize yield of cucumber. Numerous obstacles have hindered the quality cucumber production in Nepal; like environmental stresses, biotic and abiotic constraints, pest and disease outbreaks, and many others. The use of exogenous plant growth regulators has been crucial to Nepali cucumber producers as plant growth regulators has hasty effect on vegetative as well as the quality yield of plants. This study aims to reveal the suitable concentrations for the applications of growth regulators so that the use of such regulators is environmentally and toxicologically safe for both plants and the consumers.

The experiment was carried out on ten-year-old Amarapali mango (Mangifera indica L) in randomized block design with seventeen treatments with three replications at BAU, Ranchi to study the effect of foliar application of nitrogen and plant growth regulators on bearing and physico-chemical constituent and self life of mango. Among the different treatments, application of 200ppm ethephon had most favourable effect in causing earliness in panicle emergence days (16.0 days), initiation of first flower (12.3 days) and days to initiation of fruit set (10.3 days) over control. Whereas application of 2000ppm triadimefon in combination with 2% urea increased intensity of flowering shoot to the extent of88.5% in fruit plant. The maximum number of fruit set per panicle (44.7), fruit retention (12.1%) and number of harvested fruit per tree (194.4) were observed with combined use of 100ppm SA and 2% urea as compared to control. The highest TSS (25.1 0Brix) and reducing sugar (3.0%) content were registered under 100ppm GA3, while the highest phenol (2.84mg/100g) was recorded from the fruits of the plants sprayed with 200ppm ethephon in combination with 2% urea. However, minimum (11.1%) physiological loss in weight (PLW) was recorded in 100ppm SA along with 2% urea.

A field study was conceded to assess the effect of plant growth regulators on growth and quality flower production of chrysanthemum at Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Gazipur, Bangladesh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with ten (10) treatments and three replications. The treatments of plant growth regulators concentration were T1-50 ppm GA3, T2-100 ppm GA3, T3-150 ppm GA3, T4-400 ppm CCC, T5-600 ppm CCC, T6-800 ppm CCC, T7-250 ppm MH, T8-500 ppm MH, T9-750 ppm MH and, T10-Control. The maximum spreading of plant (27.0 cm) was observed when plants were treated with GA3 @ 150 ppm where the minimum plant spread (16.8 cm) was recorded in plants treated with CCC @ 800 ppm. The higher number of suckers (33) per pot was produced when pots were treated with GA3 @ 150 ppm whereas, application of CCC at three different concentrations produced lower number of suckers.  The highest number of flower (40) was recorded with 150 ppm GA3, where minimum number of flowers (25) per pot in 800 ppm CCC. The plants sprayed with 50 ppm GA3 took 48 days to flower initiation, whereas, it took 70 days with 750 ppm MH. the highest plants recorded (7.40 cm) with 800 ppm CCC, whereas, lowest size (6.50 cm) was obtained with the application of 500 ppm MH. The maximum vase life of flowers was recorded for the treatment 800 ppm CCC (15 days), which was at par with 13 days vase life obtained by spraying 600 ppm CCC. Therefore, it is concluded that the GA3 acted as growth promoter and the CCC acted as growth retardants on yield and quality of chrysanthemum.

ABSTRACT Plant growth regulators can influence fruit yield and quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cytokinin and gibberelin on the agronomic and physicochemical characteristics of banana fruits cv. ‘Prata’ (Musa spp. AAB), according to the formation period and position in the bunch. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized 2 x 5 factorial design, two periods of bunch development (summer and winter), five treatments and ten replicates. To study the effect of position in the bunch, split plot was adopted, considering in the plot, 2 x 5 factorial and in subplots, hand 1, hand 4 and last hand. Treatments consisted of 2 pulverizations with water, 150 mg L-1 cytokinin, 200 mg L-1 of gibberellic acid, 100 mg L-1 of cytokinin plus 200 mg L-1 of gibberellic acid and 200 mg L-1 of cytokinin plus 200 mg L-1 of gibberellic acid, applied from the fourth to the last hand of the bunch. Cytokinin and gibberellin, alone or associated, regardless of formation period and position, did not affect the size and physicochemical characteristics of fruits, only delayed the bunch harvest.

Eremochloa Ophiuroides

CGA 163935, paclobutrazol, and paclobutrazol plus mefluidide were evaluated for their growth regulating effect on centipedegrass over 3 yr. Paclobutrazol did not effectively suppress seedhead production or vegetative growth. Paclobutrazol plus mefluidide at 1.1 + 0.3 kg ai ha–1in each of two applications at a 2-wk interval suppressed seedhead development 77% (average of 3 yr) at 10 wk after the initial treatment without severe injury or loss of stand, but duration of vegetative growth suppression was variable (0 to 6 wk). CGA 163935 applied at 0.4 kg ai ha–1and followed by 0.2 kg ai ha–12 wk later suppressed vegetative growth of mowed and nonmowed centipedegrass for 10 wk, while suppressing seedhead production for 3 to 5 wk. CGA 163935 caused severe injury and stand loss of centipedegrass.
