dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The study entitled “Effect of pruning levels and benzyladenine (BA) on budwood production in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.)” was conducted in the experimental apple orchard of Bhajon block in the Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P.) during 2012 -2013. The experiment was laid out using Randomized Block Design consisting of 10 treatments replicated thrice. In this experiment different levels of pruning and benzyladenine (BA) application at the concentration of 500 ppm in four different cultivars namely, Vance Delicious, Early Red One, Gale Gala and Red Chief were applied viz., i) Heading Back to 10 cm, ii) Heading Back to 15 cm, iii) Heading Back to 20 cm, iv) Heading Back to 10 cm + Pinching, v) Heading Back to 15 cm + Pinching, vi) Heading Back to 20 cm + Pinching, vii) Heading Back to 10 cm + BA 500 ppm, viii) Heading Back to 15 cm + BA 500 ppm, ix) Heading Back to 20 cm + BA 500 ppm and x) Control. In all there were nine combinations of pruning levels and BA treatments and were compared with control. The results revealed that maximum graftable scion wood (64.83 %), total number of shoots (124.33), number of lateral shoots (111.50), spread (2.40 m) and volume (12.47 m 3 ) were recorded in the trees treated with heading back to 20 cm + BA at 500 ppm. Whereas, average shoot length (136.00 cm), diameter of thin, standard and thick shoots (3.85, 7.92 and 13.44 mm, respectively), internodal length (2.95 cm), pruning wood weight (5.62 kg per tree) and leaf area (34.50 cm 2 ) was found to be maximum in Heading back to 10 cm in combination with BA application at 500ppm concentration in different apple cultivars under study.en_US
