Effect of Growth Regulators on Growth and Harvest Maturity in Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)
The present study was conducted in the experimental farm of Department of Pomology, UHF, Solan. Three plant growth regulators, viz., NAA, 2,4,5-T and Ethrel were sprayed at different concentrations at stage II of fruit growth to study their effect on growth pattern, maturity and quality of fruits.
