Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during 2016 at Fruit Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were T1=ZnSO4 foliar spray @ 0.4 percent, T2=ZnSO4 foliar spray @ 0.8 percent, T3=Borax foliar spray @ 0.4 percent, T4=Borax foliar spray @ 0.8 percent, T5= 2, 4-D foliar spray @ 10 ppm, T6=2, 4-D foliar spray @ 20 ppm, T7=GA3 foliar spray @ 20 ppm, T8=GA3 foliar spray @ 40 ppm and T9=Control. Most of the fruit and yield parameters were significantly increased in which the highest fruit set was recorded in T5 (42.84%) followed by T4 (42.10%). Decreased fruit cracking (5.07%) was recorded in T7. number of fruits per tree (1162.66), maturity (69.33 days) and fruit yield (26.82 kg/tree) were found to be significant and highest which was recorded in T8 and at par with T7. TSS (18.09°Brix), total sugar (26.13%), reducing sugar (14.49%) and ascorbic acid (38.06 mg/100 ml) differed significantly where T1 recorded the highest and was observed to be at par with T7. Titratable acidity and malic acid however, were not significantly affected. T1 significantly increased most of the biochemical parameters. So it can be concluded that T1 was best for most of the quality parameters. However T7 (GA3 foliar spray @ 20 ppm) recorded significantly increased total soluble solids, total sugar, reducing sugar and ascorbic acid were found to be at par with highest. As a whole it can be concluded that T7 (GA3 foliar spray @ 20 ppm) is best for yield and quality parameters of litchi cv. Muzaffarpur under the foothills of Arunachal Pradesh.
