Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to asses the response of foliar application of GA3 with different concentrations to cherry tomato plants. The assessment expressed that the foliar application of 200-ppm gibberellic acid solution provided maximum number of leaves (16.7), tallest plant (70.0 cm), early flower bud initiation (13.0 days), early flowering (16.0 days) and early fruiting (20.3 days); utmost fruit diameter (25.9 mm) and number of fruits (105.0 fruits) per plant; maximum single fruit weight (11.1 g) and total fruit weight (1.2 kg) per plant, whereas the control was lowest.
