The present experiment was carried out during Zaid 2021. In order to study the “Effect of Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Indole Acetic Acid on Growth, Yield and Quality of Muskmelon (Cucumis melo. L). The trail was conducted at Biotechnology polyhouse, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute and Prayagraj. The foliar spray two growth regulators like Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Indole Acetic Acid were spray separately at different concentration (NAA @10ppm, 20ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm, 50 ppm, 60 ppm, 70 ppm, 80 ppm. IAA @ 100 ppm, 200 ppm, 300 ppm, 400 ppm, 500 ppm, 600 ppm, 700 ppm, 800 ppm. The result revealed among all the treatments foliar application of NAA (80 ppm) is significantly gave positive impact on growth, yield and quality parameters. i.e. Vine length (153.96 cm), number of days for 1st male flower (33.6 Days), No. of days for 1st female flower (38.83 Days), No. of Node at which 1st Male flower appears ( 4 . 1 ), No. of Node at which 1st Female flower appears ( 5 . 83) No. of Male flowers (207.33), No. of Female flowers(5.3) fruits per plant (3), diameter of the fruit (22.53 cm), length of the fruit(13.4cm), fruit yield per plant (1.4 kg), fruit yield per hectare (12.46 t), total soluble solids (11.30 Brix°), gross returns (3,73,800 Rs/ha), net returns (2,39,844 Rs/ha) and Benefit: cost ratio (2.79) were obtained among all other treatments with foliar application of NAA @80 ppm compared to other treatments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
