Abstract : Ten-year-old trees of cv. Langra were sprayed with urea (0, 2 or 4%), KNO3 (0, 1.5 or 3%) or NAA (0 or 40 p.p.m.), alone or in combination, at the flowering stage in 1986. Of the single treatments, the maximum number of fruits/plant (57), fruit weight (174.9 g), length (9.3 cm), diameter (7.2 cm) and % pulp (73.8%) were obtained with the 4% urea treatment, followed by the 3% KNO3 treatment. The combined effect of urea and NAA resulted in increased number of fruits/plant, fruit length and diameter.
