Abstract

Experiments conducted at the Agricultural College, Dharwar, showed that a preharvest spray of benzyladenine (a cytokinin) at 500 ppm significantly reduced the post-harvest berry drop in Anab-e-Shahi grapes. A mixture of 100 ppm a-NAA and 100 ppm cytokinin solution resulted in the least berry drop. The 'drop test' confirmed that the berries were more firmly held in the treated lots than in untreated ones. No marked influence of the chemical on the losses in weight and wastage was observed at this concentration.
