Effect of Post Shooting Bunch Spray of Chemicals on Bunch Characters and Yield of Banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) cv. Grand Naine

Bio Fertilizer on Rachis: A New Method Facilitates Higher Banana (<em>Musa sapientum</em>) Production

“…On the other hand, Fratoni (2017) found that applying nitrogen and potassium increase foliar size of banana tree 8,9 , 10 . However, Mishal Rajon (2017) found that post shooting spraying of Brassinosteroid @ 2 ml/L increased bunch size but that research did not mentioned about fruits and cost like this present study 8,12 . On the other hand, Soares (2014) showed that application of fertilizer after 22th days of plantation increase flowering 10,13 .…”

Impact of Plant Growth Regulators on Fruit Production

“…Post shooting bunch spray of brassinosteroid 2.0 mg L⁻¹ yielded 114.46 t ha⁻¹ in banana cv. Grand naine as against 84.24 t ha⁻¹ in control (Rajan, 2017). This might be due to effect of brassinosteroids on cell elongation by increasing the cell permeability to water and osmotic solutes of the cells.…”

Improvement of Physical and Chemical Properties of Thompson Seedless Grapes (H4 Strain) by Application of Brassinolide and Gibberellic Acid

“…The positive effect of Brassinosteroids, (BRs) on improving physical and chemical properties of cluster and berries may be attributed to their major role on stimulating cell division and extension, flower bud differentiation, carbohydrate assimilation, photosynthesis, ethylene biosynthesis, nucleic acid and protein synthesis and ATP activity subsequently, improved vegetative growth, physiological status and directed trees to earlier harvest as well as increased fruit yield and quality (Sasse, 2003, Wang et al, 2004, Mussig, 2005, Gomes et al, 2006, Symons et al, 2006, Jegadeeswari et al, 2010Gabr et al, 2011, Harindra Champa et al,2014, Harindra Champa et al, 2015, Isci and Gokbayrak, 2015, Engin et al, 2015, Rajni et al, 2017, Asghari and Rezaei-Rad, 2018and Senthilkumar et al, 2018. Also, the positive effect of Brassinolide (blank), on reduce the compactness coefficient of clusters and improving physical and chemical properties of cluster and berries may be attributed to it content (nitrogeen 8% and phosphour 20%).…”

“…Gibberellic acid is greatly used in vineyards, all over the world, to increase cluster weight, berry weight and size on most grape cultivars which in turn increase the vines yield. It is also known to decrease the bunch compactness and tends to improve quality of berries (Jegadeeswari, 2010, Ola et al, 2012, El-Halaby et al, 2015, Koukourikou et al, 2015, Mohamed, et al, 2017, Rajni et al, 2017and Senthilkumar et al, 2018.…”

“…Brassinosteroids (BRs) catalyzes cell division and elongation, flower bud differentiation, carbohydrate stimulates and ATP activity subsequently, enhancing physiological status of plant, improving vegetative growth and directing trees to earlier harvest as well as increasing fruit yield and quality (Wang et al, 2004, Mussig, 2005, Gomes et al, 2006, Symons et al, 2006, Jegadeeswari et al, 2010, Gabr et al, 2011, Harindra Champa et al, 2014, Engin et al, 2015, Harindra Champa et al, 2015, Isci & Gokbayrak, 2015, Rajni et al, 2017, Asghari & Rezaei-Rad, 2018and Senthilkumar et al, 2018. Being a growth promoter, Brassinosteroids (BRs) act synergistically and in an independent manner with auxins (Taiz and Zeiger, 2010) hence, it positively effects on important economically properties of berry.…”
