| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was conducted on Hindi banana cultivar growing in loamy soil in private orchard at Badaway, Mansoura, to study the effect of Sitofex (CPPU) alone or in combination with GA3 (Gibberellic acid) on yield and fruit quality of banana. Treatments were applied twice, just after emergence of the last hand of the bunch and 1 month later, and consisted of 2.5,5.0 or 10.0 ppm Sitofex alone and in combination with 300 ppm GA3, and a control. The highest finger length, diameter, pedicel diameter, and weight were recorded with 10 ppm Sitofex and 300 ppm GA3. Highest bunch weight, angulation percent, chlorophyll content, peal and pulp weight were recorded with 300 ppm GA3 + 10 ppm Sitofex also. As well as, total sugars percent were reduced by using 10 ppm Sitofex + 300 ppm GA3. | ||
