Bacterial blight in pomegranate is a major disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, which has resulted in significant economic losses in terms of both quality and quantity. The ineffectiveness of most chemicals in controlling this disease has shifted grower attention to the quest for a new molecule and hence the use of plant growth regulators and signaling molecules is a novel approach to control the disease as well as improving quality and quantity attributes of pomegranate. Hence, the aim of present study was to determine the impact of plant hormones like ethylene, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid on bacterial blight of pomegranate. Among different hormones applied, ethrel application shown maximum disease severity (33.2%) and salicylic acid shown lowest disease severity (15.08%) under greenhouse condition.
