Application of GA3 and NAA significantly increased the
number of fruits per plant. The increasing number of
fruits per plant by GA3 and NAA treatment might be due
to rapid and better nutrient translocation from roots to
apical parts of the plant. These results are in accordance
with those reported by Singh et al., (2001) and Bhosle
et al., (2002). The size and weight of fruit is also an
important aspect as these characters are useful for yield
determination and consumer’s acceptability. The average
fruit weight, length of fruit and width of fruit were
significantly increased with the application of GA3 and
NAA and the maximum values were recorded at 80 ppm
of GA3 and 100 ppm of NAA. This may be attributed to
the increased supply of photosynthetic materials and its
