This present investigation was conducted at the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.), India, during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 growing years. The experiment had a completely randomized block design with eight treatments, a control, and three replications (FCRD). The pulsing solution used in the experiment with three level of biocides viz., Nano silver 8 ppm (C₁), AgNO₃ 20 ppm (C₂) and 8-HQC @ 200ppm (C₃), three level of sucrose viz., 10% (S₁), 15% (S₂) and 20% (S₃), two level of pulsing duration 10 hrs (D₁) and 16 hrs (D₂) with a control (water). The results revealed that the recorded the highest levels of total sugars, reducing sugars, total phenols, lignin content and peroxidase (POD) activity was observed in C₃S₃D₂ 8-HQC 200 ppm with 20% sucrose and 16 hours’ duration.
