An experiment was conducted to induce the flowering in litchi through chemical sprays in young litchi orchard consecutively for 2 years at ICAR-NRC on Litchi, Muzaffarpur (Bihar) with six treatments viz., Ethephon 400 ppm (T1), KNO3 1% (T2), TIBA 1000 ppm (T3), SADH 400 ppm (T4), Cincturing of branches 3 mm wide with 3 mm depth (T5) & Control (T6).Results indicated that panicle emergence was early by 8-12 days in Ethephon 400ppm and delayed by 8-10 days in KNO3 1% application than control. Cincturing of branches recorded highest 60.50%of shoot converted into flowering panicle as compared to 37.50% conversion in control. Ethephon 400ppm advanced the fruit maturity by 7 days followed by KNO3 1% (4 days) than normal date of fruit harvesting (22nd May). Foliar application of KNO3 1% recorded higher fruit weight (20.26 g), fruit length (3.49 cm), fruit breadth (3.00 cm), pulp content (67.68%), TSS (19.74 °Brix), ascorbic acid (49.28 mg), TSS/acid ratio (35.88) and lowest acidity (0.55%).
