Abstract
The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of GA3 on the growth and development of water apple fruits (Syzygium samarangense). Three concentrations of GA3 at 30, 60, 90 mg/L and water control were applied using swabbing technique. However, 60 mg/LGA3 increased the number of buds and fruit setting compared to other treatments. It also decreased the premature fruit dropping. It was found that the application of GA3 at 60mg/L increased fruit length and diameter. In addition to that fruit growth, maturity development and per fruit weight were higher at GA3 at 60mg/L compared to other concentrations and water control. With regard to fruit quality, the application of GA3 at 60mg/L increased TSS, inverted sugar, fructose and total flavonoid contents in the fruit compared to the other concentrations and water control. Besides, anthocyanin content and total phenol were higher in GA3 treated fruits than water control. From this study it can be concluded that swabbing 60mg/L GA3 was showed better results than other concentrations and water control. Finally it is recommended that swabbing technique is the best for saving environmental pollution and effective for low cost.
