The experiment was conducted at Rainfed Research Sub-Station for Subtropical Fruits (RRSS) Raya, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu, during 2015-2016 in Randomized Block Design with three replications and ten treatments; T1 – 100 ppm GA3, T2- 150 ppm GA3, T3- 200 ppm GA3, T4- 100 ppm NAA, T5-150 ppm NAA, T6-200 ppm NAA, T7- 750 ppm Ethrel, T8- 1000 ppm Ethrel, T9- 1250 ppm Ethrel and T10- control (water spray). Flowering behaviour like date of flower initiation, date of end of flowering, duration of flowering, average number of flowers per shoot and fruit yield were observed during the investigation. Pre flowering and pre harvest spray of 1250 ppm or 1000 ppm ethrel resulted in early flowering i.e. on 18th March while untreated bushes were last to initiate flowering i.e. on 25th March. Ethrel 1250 ppm resulted into early end date of flowering i.e. on 21st April. GA3 150 ppm resulted in maximum average number of flowers and fruit yield in phalsa.
