Abstract: A field experiment was carried out during kharif2016-17 at Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi (Karnataka) to study the effect of growth regulators on quality parameters of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.]. The maximum beta carotene content (7.65 mg) was recorded in combination of GA3 @ 100 ppm and CCC @ 250 ppm (T10), followed by single treatment GA3 @ 100 ppm (T3) (6.72 mg/100g). significantly maximum reducing sugar content (7.40%) was recorded in treatment combination of GA3 @ 100 ppm and CCC @ 250 ppm (T10), significantly maximum starch content (22.50%) was recorded in treatment combination of GA3 @ 100 ppm and CCC @ 250 ppm (T10),
Keywords: Ipomoea batatas, plant growth regulators, quality parameters
