Abstract
The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design which had 8+1(control) Treatments replicated thrice. The vegetative growth and fruit yield is concerned, application of different treatment of Plant Growth Regulator and Micronutrient significantly enhanced the Plant Height(cm), Number of leaves per plant, Plant Spread(cm) and Yield. Maximum (Plant Height(19.00cm), No. of leaves (20.67), leaf area (130.33 cm2), Plant spread (25.50 cm), (No. of fruit per plant (20.44), No. of flower per plant (32.00), fruit yield (9.21q/ha) were recorded best in treatment T2 (75 ppm Gibberellic acid) in terms of Vegatative Parameter.
