Both time and concentrations had affected significantly the growth parameters of plants. Maximum days to flowering (42.67), fruit per plant (77.69), plant height (77.78 cm), fruit weight (71.15 gm), number of branches (12.33) per plant and iota! yield (26840 kg haG 1 ) were recorded in the plants sprayed with 60 mg/lit of gibberellic acid 10 days before transplantation, while minimum values were noted in controlled treatment. Maximum fruit drop per plant was found for control treatment and minimum for the plants treated with gibberellic acid at 60 mg/lit. It is suggested that tomato should be supplied with gibberellic acid at 60 mg/lit. 10 days before transplantation under the agroclimatic conditions of Peshawar.

This study attempts to examine the relationship between monetary policy and housing prices in India. We use monthly data from January 2009 to December 2018 of four variables- Housing Price Index (HPI), Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER), Gross Domestic Price (GDP), and interest rate for our estimations using the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) Model. The results from the study show that the impact of monetary policy on housing prices is significant only on lag three; however, the coefficient is very small. The results from the ARDL model are also supported by the variance decomposition of housing price. The variance decomposition of housing prices highlights that monetary policy explains around 13 percent of the variation in housing prices over a period of ten months. Further, the accumulated impulse response function reveals that with one-unit shock to interest rate results in a -0.000875 unit change in housing price. The study stipulates that, since conventional monetary policy has a modest impact on housing prices, therefore, it is insignificant for addressing the problems of real estate in India.
