Abstract

Application of gibberellic acid (GA3) 5 ppm in Le Conte improved the fruit set and yield during the first year, whereas CCC 1000 ppm was more effective in the following year. The physico-chemical characteristics of the fruits were not affected consistently by the application of PBRs and nutrients during both the years. The long-term effects of the PBRs and nutrients need to be studied further.
