Abstract

Plants of brinjal (Solarium melongena L.) cv. ‘Pusa kranti’ were sprayed with IAA and GA3 at 0, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 ppm. IAA stimulated the vegetative growth upto a concentration of 100 ppm and suppressed at 200 ppm. GA3 promoted the vegetative growth at all the concentrations used. IAA increased formation of flowers, fruits and yield upto 100 ppm and reduced them at 200 ppm. GA3 enhanced the formation of flowers, fruits, and yield progressively with increasing concentration.
