Experiment was conducted to studies on Influence of Urea and plant growth regulators on fruit retention, fruit drop and fruit yield of acid lime var. Kagzi. Foliar application of urea (1,2,3 percent), NAA (10,20,30 ppm), GA3 (25,50,100 ppm) and 2,4-D (10,15,20 ppm) sprayed at full bloom and pea stage of fruit, significantly increased fruit retention percentage at various stages of fruit growth and development over control. Among various treatments, minimum fruit drop was noted with 20 ppm NAA followed by Urea 2 percent in all three waves of fruit drop. The maximum (62.59) fruit retention percentage was noted with the application of NAA 20 ppm at the time of harvest followed by Urea 2 percent (52.10).
