PhD Thesis submitted to SKUAST Kashmir
Investigations on “Influence of growth retardant (paclobutrazol) and gibberellic acid on growth and production of sweet cherry” was carried out at Division of Pomology, SKUAST (K), Shalimar Campus on bearing cherry (Misri) trees during the cropping years of 2001 and 2002. Paclobutrazol was applied through soil to the basin of the tree as per tree trunk diameter and gibberellic acid sprayed at full bloom. The investigation was carried out under two independent experiments. In one experiment, treatments were applied for two years consecutively and in another during first year only in order to assess carryover effect during second year. Application of paclobutrazol decreased yearly increment of tree trunk cross sectional area, tree spread and volume. Number of nodes were slightly increased but internodal length decreased. Flowering intensity, per cent bloom, per cent fruit set and yield efficiency were increased by increased dose of paclobutrazol. Fruit length, breadth, pedicel length, volume, weight, acidity, vitamin C, percentage of bruised fruits, incidence of pitting and fruit cracking were reduced by the application of paclobutrazol. Fruit colour, organoleptic rating, total soluble solids, reducing sugars, total sugars, anthocyanin and yield were increased. Gibberellic acid modified the influence of paclobutrazol. |
