 ABSTRACT

Studies on the Influence of bio-fertilizers and auxin on total chlorophyll content of leaf and leaf area on pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cuttings cvs. Bhagwa and Ruby was conducted at the Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, B‌‌‌‌‌engaluru during 2015-2016. The results revealed that significantly highest total chlorophyll content in leaves (5.13 and 5.66 mg/g), and leaf area (41.31 and 42.49 cm2) in cvs. Ruby and Bhagwa respectively, recorded with application of IBA1500 ppm + NAA 1500 ppm + Biomix and the least total chlorophyll content of leaves (2.36 and 2.62 mg/g), and leaf area (33.54 and 34.35 cm2) in cvs. Ruby and Bhagwa respectively, recorded in control.

Key words: Pomegranate, Biofertilizer, Chlorophyll, Growth regulators
