Abstract: The investigation entitled “Effect of NAA and zinc sulphate application on fruit drop, yield and quality attributes of mulberry (Morus alba L.)” was conducted during 2018-19. The foliar application of different concentrations of zinc sulphate (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%) and NAA (20, 40 and 60 ppm). Significantly improved in fruit set and fruit retention (per cent). The maximum was recorded from the trees treated with zinc sulphate @ 0.4 per cent and NAA @ 60 ppm. Significantly increase in yield parameters and total yield per tree was observed in the fruits harvested from the trees treated with zinc sulphate (0.4% and 0.6%) and NAA @ 60 ppm. Significantly improved in quality parameters was observed in the fruits harvested from the trees treated with zinc sulphate @ 0.4 per cent and NAA @ 40 ppm, while acidity was minimum with zinc sulphate @ 0.4 per cent and NAA @ 40 ppm.
