Abstract: The present investigation entitled Studies on flowering, fruiting and yield attributing characters of phalsa (Grewia subinaequalis D. C. ) fruits was carried out at Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U. P. ) during the year 2012-13 and data were analyzed using Randomized Block Design (R. B. D. ). The experiment was conducted Under the experiment flowering and fruiting behavior of phalsa plant was studied for length of current season shoot, number of leaves per shoot, Number of leaves per shoot bearing axillary flower buds, number of flower buds per shoot, number of flower buds open fruit setting, average fruit weight, volume of fruit and specific gravity which were found significantly. The date of observations was started from 17 March 2013 and thereafter data were recorded at 8 days intervals till the end of experiment. It was found that the phalsa fruit borne on the current season shoots as well as number of leaves on shoots increased during flowering and fruiting.
