Abstract
Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, famous for quality citrus production and acid lime is one of the important member of citrus group. Regulation of flowering in Hasta bahar is important for obtaining off season acid lime fruits. Keeping in view all these considerations, an experiment was carried out to study the effect of plant growth regulators (GA3, cycocel and paclobutrazol), KNO3 and micronutrients like zinc and boron on growth and yield of acid lime in Hasta bahar. The study revealed that application of GA3 50 ppm in June + Cycocel 1000 - 2000 ppm, Paclobutrazol 2.5 and 3.5 g a.i./tree and 1000 - 2000 ppm in September + KNO3 (0.2%), Zinc (0.3%) and Boron (0.1%) in October showed be er performance in plant height, mean plant spread and canopy volume. Maximum yield was obtained with the application of GA3 50 ppm + Cycocel 2000 ppm + KNO3 0.2% + Zn 0.3% + Boron 0.1%.
