ResumoAn experiment was conducted to find out the suitable plant growth regulator(s) for inducing parthenocarpic fruit in kakrol (Momordica dioicia Roxb). Four plant growth regulators, viz. NAA and 2, 4-D (Auxins), Fulmet (Cytokinine) and GA3 (Gibberellic acid) were sprayed at three stages (a day before anthesis, at anthesis, a day after anthesis). Out of four growth regulators 2, 4-D and fulmet induced parthenocarpic fruit development. Fruit set percent, final fruit weight, fruit length and fruit diameter varied significantly with different treatment combinations. 2, 4-D at 50 ppm when applied at anthesis showed better performance in inducing parthenocarpy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v20i2.17030
