Abstract

SummaryEthrel (300, 400 and 500 ppm) and NAA (25, 50 and 75 ppm) were sprayed on litchi panicles just before colour break on the fruits. Ethrel (400 ppm) significantly increased the fresh weight, total soluble solids of the fruits and hastened ripening by eight days; NAA (25 ppm) was also effective and advanced maturity by five days.
