Abstract:
The experiment was conducted with the objective to observe the effect of ZnSO₄, Borax, NAA and GA₃ on the quality of litchi fruit cv. Muzaffarpur. The application of micronutrient and growth regulator significantly influences the quality of litchi. The foliar application of borax @ 0.4%, exhibited improved TSS (18.02 °Brix), total sugar (20.92%), reducing sugar (12.19%), and ascorbic acid (36.75 mg/100 ml). However, there was no effect of applied treatment on titratable acidity, non- reducing sugar and malic acid. Therefore application of boax @ 4% may be recommended for enhancing quality of litchi.
