The results showed that the fruits with highest weight (197.55 g), length (6.64 cm), total aril weight (113.63 g), percentage of aril weight (62.11 %), 100 aril weight (27.18 g), juice weight (101.94 g) and percentage (51.19 %) accompanied with highest anthocyanin content (6.647 mg 100g-1) were obtained with application of CCC @ 1000 ppm plant-1 in combination with Uracil @ 25 ppm. Highest fruit diameter (6.90 cm), TSS content (19.96 0B), TSS to acid ratio (46.68) and less titrable acidity (0.41 %) were apparent with foliar spray of Cycocel @ 1500 ppm plant-1, while its application @ 1000 ppm has resulted in highest fruit volume (162.70 ml).Not Availabl

Not AvailableTo realize the productivity potential of pomegranate cv. Bhagwa, studies were conducted on the effects of chemicals Nitrobenzene (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ml plant-1), Cycocel (500, 1000 and 1500 ppm plant-1) and Uracil (25 and 50 ppm plant-1) on flowering behavior and fruit yield during the years 2016-17. Highest number of hermaphrodite flowers (264.66), fruit yield (27.10 kg tree-1 and 18.86 t ha-1) and fruit number tree-1 (154) were realized with application of uracil @ 50 ppm. However, the uracil treatment did not influence significantly the number of male and intermediate flowers. Application of Cycocel @ 1000 ppm in combination with Uracil @ 25 ppm plant-1 has recorded highest fruit weight (197.55g). At flowering stage, the gas exchange parameters like the photosynthetic rate (16.48 μmol m-2 s-1) was higher in plants treated with Uracil @ 50 ppm while transpiration rate was higher (7.72 mmol m-2 s-1) with uracil @ 25 ppm. Higher stomatal conductance (0.44 mol m-2 s-1) was recorded under nitrobenzene @ 1.5ml plant-1 treatment. During fruit set stage, photosynthetic rate was high (12.55 μmol m-2 s-1) in plants treated with nitrobenzene @ 1.5 ml plant-1 whereas, transpiration rate (6.19 mmol m-2 s-1) and stomatal conductance (0.18 mol m-2 s-1) were higher in plants treated with Cycocel @ 1000 ppm + Uracil @ 25 ppm plant-1. Thus Uracil @ 50 ppm alone seems to be effective in enhancing fruit yield and the beneficial effects were associated following increases in gas exchange parameters and bisexual flowers.Not Availabl
