Abstract:
This two-year experiment was carried out in earthen pots of 40kg soil holding capacity on Ziziphus rotundifolia root stock of ber during 2018-19 under cage house, Department of Plant Physiology, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. The Ziziphus rotundifolia root stock of ber were planted in pots. The recommended doses of FYM, fertilizers and other inputs provided at proper time. These Plants were irrigated by tape water as and when required in pots. The plants were foliar sprayed by Kaoline 2%, Kaoline 4%, Kaoline 6%, PMA 2ppm, PMA 4 ppm, PMA 6 ppm silicon oil 1% and caster oil 1%. A significant decrease was observed in the transpiration rate, proline content, cell membrane injury, reducing sugar content with increase in relative water content in the plant leaves by the use of Kaoline 6% followed by Kaoline 4%, Kaoline 2%, phenyl mercuric acetate 2ppm, phenyl mercuric acetate 4ppm phenyl mercuric acetate 6 ppm, silicon oil 1%, and caster oil 1%.
