“…Also, Wally et al (2004) reported an increase in the vegetative growth of "Anna" apple by spraying activated dry yeast and GA 4 , respectively. Dutta and Banik (2007) revealed that foliar feeding of nutrients and plant growth regulators significantly increased crop yield. The various positive effects of applying activated dry yeast might refer to its content of different nutrients, higher percentage of proteins, larger amount of vitamin B and the natural plant growth regulator such as cytokinins (Ismaeil et al, 2003).…”

“…Similar results were also reported by Maurya and Singh (1981) applied GA and NAA before flowering, followed by three weeks after fruit setting and observed that foliar application of NAA significantly increased fruit length, diameter and fruit weight and ultimately crop yield. Dutta and Banik (2007) applied foliar feeding of nutrients and plant growth regulators (GA and NAA) before flowering, followed by three weeks after fruit setting and observed that foliar feeding of nutrients and plant growth regulators significantly increased the fruit length, diameter, individual fruit weight and ultimately crop yield.…”

The present investigation was carried out during the two successive years of 2006 and 2007 on "Costata" persimmon trees in order to study the influence of foliar sprays of different chemicals on the fruit retention, fruit quality and yield.Trees were sprayed at pea stage (5mm fruitlet diameter), marble stage (15mm fruitlet diameter) or at both stages with urea, phosphoric acid, potassium nitrate, Ca-EDTA, Fe-EDTA + Zn-EDTA + Boric acid , NAA, GA 4 , Amcotone, activated dry yeast and a mixture of ascorbic plus citric acids. All sprayed chemicals significantly increased vegetative growth, fruit retention, tree yield in both seasons . GA 4 had the highest fruit retention and yield followed by Amcotone and activated dry yeast and then NAA as compared with all other treatments in both seasons. All sprayed compounds increased fruit weight ,TSS, total sugars, reducing sugars, carotene and V.C contents and decreased fruit acidity and tannin contents as compared with all other treatments in both seasons. GA 4 had the highest fruit weight, followed by activated dry yeast and mixture of ascorbic acid + citric acid and then Amcotone. Phosphoric acid recorded the highest values of fruit TSS, total sugars, reducing sugars and carotene contents, whereas activated dry yeast gave the highest V.C and lower tannine contents as compared with all other chemicals in both seasons. Foliar sprays at pea + marble stages recorded the highest values of all the investigated parameters in both seasons as compared with pea or marble stage.

“…Plant growth regulators and micro nutrients in minute quantities play an important role in enhancing growth and development of plants to influence yield and quality, affecting plant metabolism by bringing about a change in nutritional and hormonal status of the plant (Gadi and Bohra, 2005). 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) is an important plant hormone reported to enhance the fruit set, growth, retention, yield and market price of some fruit species (Nawaz et al, 2008) also delayed in fruit ripening as well as enhancing fruit formation through cell division and elongation (Dutta and Banik, 2007). Gibberellins are reported to increase fruit set, size, retention and yield as well as improve fruit physico-chemical characteristics and ripening (Rizk-Alla et al, 2011).…”

Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk.) is an indigenous delicious, nourishing fruit grown widely throughout the India but faces heavy fruit drop due to several biotic and abiotic stress factors resulted in declining trend of ber production over the year. Keeping these facts in foreground, replicated field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 and 2014-15 at HRS, Mondouri, BCKV, West Bengal with eleven treatments consist two different levels of NAA, GA 3 , 2,4-D, ZnSO 4 and H 3 BO 3 along with a control (water spray). Results of investigation revealed that application of 2,4-D @ 10 mg/l recorded highest fruit set (48.80%). Maximum fruit retention (42.83%) and total no. of fruits/tree (514) were obtained with the application of NAA @ 20 mg/l. Application of GA 3 @ 20 mg/l recorded significantly (p≤0.05) higher yield (30.67 kg/tree), fruit weight (60.5 g), fruit length (5.8 cm), fruit breadth (5.1 cm), pulp to seed ratio (13.9) and specific gravity (1.104) as well as economic returns over control during both the year of experiment. Among the treatments H 3 BO 3 at 0.4% recorded the highest TSS (11.7°Brix), total sugar (8.33%), reducing sugar (5.21%) and TSS: Acid (107.36) ratio with lowest fruit acidity (0.10 %) whereas highest vitamin-C content of fruit was recorded with GA 3 at 20 mg/l (64.68 mg / 100 g) followed by NAA at 20 mg/l. Results suggest that twice spraying of GA 3 @ 20 mg/l and H 3 BO 3 at 0.4% is vital for optimizing yield components, yield and quality of ber (cv. BAU Kul-1) in trans-Gangetic plains of West Bengal.

“…The application of GA 3 at 20 mg L -1 associated with CPPU at 10 mg L -1 improved berry size of Italia grapes without affecting cluster mass, leading to higher grape quality (RODRIGUES et al 2011). It has been reported that application of NAA before flowering, followed by three weeks after fruit set significantly increased fruit length, diameter and fruit weight as well as yield in guava (DUTTA; BANIK, 2007;ALMESELMANI, et al, 2010).…”

-Results of this study represent the first report of the effect of Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) on the pre and post harvest quality of wax apple fruit. The wax apple trees were spray treated with 0, 5, 10 and 20 mg L -1 NAA under field conditions during 2008 to 2011. The experiments were carried out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six replications. Leaf chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthetic yield, net photosynthetic rate, drymatter content of leaves and total soluble solids and K + content of wax apple fruits were significantly increased after treatments with 10 mg L -1 . Polygalacturonase activity significantly decreased with NAA treatments. The application of 5 mg L -1 NAA increased 27% more bud and reduced 42% less fruit drop compared to the control. In addition, higher protein and phosphate synthase activity of leaves, fruit set, fruit growth, larger fruit size and yield were recorded in NAA treated plants. In storage, treated fruits exhibited higher TSS and firmness and less weight loss, browning, titratable acidity, respiration and ethylene production than the control. It is concluded that spraying with 5 and 10 mg L -1 NAA once a week under field conditions produced better fruit growth and yield of the wax apple and maintained better fruit quality in postharvest storage. Index terms: NAA, fruit, development, pre and postharvest quality.
