The data were recorded on number of fruits per plant, fruit yield, average fruit weight, fruit size, fruit volume, fruit cracking, specific gravity, TSS, acidity, total sugars, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, anthocyanin content, aril, peel, juice and fruit colour. The recorded data were subjected to statistical analysis using RBD. The result of the experiment indicates that the foliar application of urea, ZnSO4, and NAA had a significantly positive effect on most of the recorded parameters. The maximum potential of pomegranate plants in respect number of fruits per plant, size of fruits (fruit length and breadth), average fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, juice content, total soluble solids, total sugars, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, aril, fruit volume, fruit colour was exploited to a maximum level and the peel content, acidity to a minimum level with foliar application of urea 1.0% + ZnSO4 0.5%. The reduced fruit cracking was recorded with the foliar application of ZnSO4 at 0.5%, anthocyanin content was recorded maximum when the plants were sprayed with 40 ppm NAA while maximum specific gravity was recorded within 0.25% ZnSO4 solution sprayed treatment.EnglishThesis
