The experiment comprised of nine treatments viz. GA3 (10 and 50 ppm), NAA (10 and 50 ppm), CCC (5 and 10 ppm) and Triacontanol (5 and 10 ppm) and treatments were laid in Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications. Tricacontanol treatment has produced maximum ascorbic acid content of fruit (61.39 mg per 100g), whereas high capsaicin content of fruit (0.98%w per w) was found in application of GA3 @ 50 ppm compared to the control.
