Influence of spraying nutrients and bioregulators on vegetative growth, flowering and productivity of litchi. Journal of Environmental Biology. 2024 Dec; 45(6): 763-7710254-87042394-0379https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/247536Aim: To investigate the influence of nutrients and bioregulators on the vegetative growth, flowering and productivity of Litchi. Methodology: The vegetative growth, flowering and productivity of litchi cv. Bombai was assessed through application of nutrients and bioregulators. Results: The plants receiving treatment with @ 0.5% Borax (T1) showed the highest percentage increase in canopy volume (7.56 %) and plant height (2.46 %) in litchi, outperforming all other treatments. The maximum productivity (38.69 kg per plant) was registered in plants under treatment T2 (0.3% Borax), which was found to be statistically at par (36.68 kg per plant) with plants treated with 0.1% Seaweed extract (T10) . The percentage increase in the plant height, plant spread in East-West and North-South direction, canopy volume, , fruit weight and fruit set capture positive correlation in both PC-1 and PC-2. The total contribution of PC-1 and PC-2 was 60.857 %. Interpretation: Among all the treatments, T2 (0.3% borax) and T4 (ZnSO @ 0.4%) treatments proved superior over other treatements with respect to4 vegetative growth, flowering and productivity parameters in litchi. However, further investigation need to be carried out with combination of these applied nutrients and bioregulators for getting acceptable results.BioregulatorsFloweringGrowthLitchiNutrientsJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Fruit Science and Horticulture Technology, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar-753 001, IndiaCollege of Horticulture, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Sambalpur-768 025, IndiaCollege of Agriculture, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar-751 003, IndiaCollege of Horticulture, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Sambalpur-768 025, IndiaCollege of Agriculture, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar-751 003, IndiaCollege of Agriculture, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar-751 003, India
