Abstract: The present investigation has been conducted for two consecutive years (2018-19 and 2019-20) to determine the effect of various phyto bio regulator on physical parameters of papaya (Carica papaya) cv. Red Lady in a randomized block design using factorial arrangement with 11 treatments and 03 replications. The study revealed that phyto bio regulator significantly affect fruit length (cm), fruit weight (g),fruit volume (cc) as well as all the physical parameters under study in papaya fruits. Treatment details includes five phyto bio regulators with two different concentrations i.e. Naphthalene acetic acid (100 ppm and 150 ppm), Gibberellic acid (100 ppm and 150 ppm), Benzyl adenine (100 ppm and 150 ppm), Ethrel (100 ppm and 150 ppm) and 2,3,5-Triiodo benzoic acid (100 ppm and 150 ppm). It was observed that gibberellic acid @150 ppm significantly increased value of fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), fruit weight (g), fruit volume (cc), peel weight (g) and pulp weight (g) of papaya however it decreases the number of seeds per fruit and seed weight (g) as compare to control in papaya cv. Red Lady.
