    INFLUENCE OF DECAPITATION, PARTIAL ROOT PRUNING AND EXOGENOUS APPLICATION OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON THE GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF POTATO
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) PATEL, BABUBHAI MAGANBHAI; Majmudar, A. M.
    The response of potato var Up-to-date in respect of its growth, yield and quality was studied by altering the natural hormonal balance through pruning treatments as well as hormonal sprays. The three pruning treatments were - (A) normal plants (intact I.e. without any pruning treatment), (B) decapitated plants (pinching off of the apex of each sprout) and (C) partly root pruned plants (cutting the roots from all the four sides of the sprout at a distance of 10 cm from the main stem). The level of KIN used were 0, 15, 30 and 60 ppm; those of IAA were 50, 100 and 200 ppm and those of GA were 50, 100 and 150 ppm. Pruning treatments were given at 7-9 leaf stage, while single spray of IAA and GA was given at 10-12 leaf stage and that, a single foliar spray of KIN was superimposed (over IAA and GA) at 15-17 leaf stage.
