Investigations were carried out at Central Dry Zone of Karnataka to study the beneficial effects of plant growth regulators in 'Bhagwa' pomegranate. The studies indicated that among growth regulators ethrel 250 ppm significantly produced highest number of hermaphrodite flowers (25.22) with minimum number of days taken for 50% (12.67 days) and 100% (30.44 days) flowering. NAA at 40 ppm was effective in increasing number of fruits per tree (62.44), fruit length (8.66 cm), fruit diameter (8.71 cm), fruit weight (262.23 g), fruit volume (255.44 mL), TSS (16.76 °B), total sugars (15.58%), reducing sugars (13.83%) and non-reducing sugars (1.75%). The highest yield recorded was 15,232.70 kg ha(-1) as against control (7,540.73 kg ha(-1)).
