Abstract
Chinese date (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is a deciduous tree with spiny branches and an open, irregular form growing in moderate climate.
It is the member of the buckhorn family (Rhamnaceae). Six different treatments were used to improve fruit yield in jujube like borax-0.3%, urea-0.5%, KH2PO4-0.4%, GA3-10 ppm, girdling and control.
The chemicals were sprayed on jujube tree two times during flowering every year.
Observations were recorded for pomological description and the numbers of fruits from the different treatments.
Results indicated that the treatments affected weight, thickness, height and width of the fruit.
Spraying of borax resulted highest fruit yield in both the years of study.
Borax application also gave higher fruit length, weight, width and thickness.
