Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted with an aim to enhance the growth and yield of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) at SHUATS, Allahabad. The results indicated that all the treatments enhanced the growth and yield compared to control. Amongst different treatments and their combinations it was observed that the combined effect of GA3 and NAA was significantly better over individual treatments. The foliar spray of GA3 @ 60 ppm together with NAA @ 100ppm showed significantly higher growth and yield except for days to flower initiation and days to fruit maturity which were better at GA3 @ 60 ppm + NAA @ 50 ppm and GA3 @ 40 ppm + NAA @ 100 ppm respectively.
