Title: Production of Parthenocarpic Fruit with Growth Regulators in Kakrol (Momordica Cochinchinensis Spreng)

Application of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T at 25, 50 and 100 ppm was effective in producing parthenocarpic fruit. The maximum fruit set of 88.88 percent was obtained at 100 ppm 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. The average length/fruit and average weight/fruit was maximum at 50 ppm 2,4,5-T while the average girth/fruit was more in hand pollinated. The hand pollinated fruits contained 18 bold seeds while no seed coat developed in the induced partheno-carpic fruit and the fruits were completely seedless.Read More
