An investigation was carried out to analyze the effect of soil drenching of paclobutrazol at different concentrations (1.25, 2.50, 3.75 and 5.00 g a.i/tree) on five year old acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) var. PKM 1 trees at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam during 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. The treatments were imposed prior to flower bud formation during main season following randomized block design with four replications. In general, soil application of paclobutrazolhad significant effect on time taken for flowering and number of flowers/shoot in both the seasons. Paclobutrazol at 2.50 g a.i/tree recorded the lowest number of number of days taken for flowering (66 days and 69 days) in the main and off season of boththe years compared with other treatments. Soil application of paclobutrazol at 2.50 g a.i/tree recorded the highest number of flowers/shoot (8.04 and 7.84) in the main and off season of the year 2006-07 and 2007-08.
