Effect of Foliar Application of Nutrients with Plant Growth Regulators on Fruit Yield and Quality of Winter Season of Guava (Psidium Guajava L.) Cv. L-49.
1 Keerti; 2 S. K. VishwakarmaThe current study was conducted between the research year 2023-2024 and 2024-25 in research centre Janta College, Bakewar, Etawah, Department of Horticulture. The investigation was carried out in RBD (Randomized Block Design) with 3 replications, 26 treatments with 78 total number of combination. A field experiment was escort to assess the effect of foliar application of nutrients with plant growth regulators with 26 treatment combination T1 = Urea, T2 = K2SO4, T3 = CaSO4, T4 = GA3, T5 = NAA, T6= Urea + K2SO4, T7= Urea + CaSO4, T8= Urea + GA3, T9= Urea + NAA, T10= K2SO4+ CaSO4, T11= K2SO4 + GA3, T12= K2SO4 + NAA, T13= CaSO4 + GA3, T14= CaSO4 + NAA, T15= Urea + K2SO4 + CaSO4, T16= Urea + K2SO4 + GA3, T17= Urea + K2SO4 + NAA, T18= Urea + CaSO4 + GA3, T19= Urea + CaSO4 + NAA, T20= Urea + GA3 + NAA, T21= K2SO4 + CaSO4 + GA3, T22= K2SO4 + CaSO4 + NAA, T23= CaSO4 + GA3 + NAA, T24= GA3 + NAA + K2SO4, T25= Urea + K2SO4 + CaSO4 + GA3 + NAA, T26= Control (RDF) on yield attributes and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. L-49. Foliar application of Urea + K2SO4+ CaSO4+ GA3+ NAA increasing fruit yield characteristics like length of fruit, width of fruit, number of seeds and fruit yield in kg/tree and chemical parameters like T.S.S., sugar contains like reducing, non- reducing, total sugars and ascorbic acid of fruits. The foliar application of Urea + K2SO4 + CaSO4+ GA3 + NAA concentrations given more superior flowering, fruit set and fruit yield in guava and followed by Urea+ K2SO4 + NAA whereas, the control (RDF) was recorded the lesser value in all the treatment on fruit yield attributes and quality of winter season of guava (Psidium guajava L.) Cv. L-49.
