Abstract
The present investigation entitled "Studies on effect of foliar application of micronutrients on yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.)" Var. Sardar was conducted in a well-established guava orchard of 9 years old Sardar guava trees planted at 5×5 m having uniform growth and productivity at the Instructional-cum-Research Farm, Department of Horticulture,College of Agriculture, Latur, during mrig bahar 2015-16, with the object to study the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on yield and quality of guava and to find out the effective concentration of micronutrients for yield and quality of guava fruits. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eleven treatments replicated thrice.The maximum number of fruits per tree (170), yield per tree (35.57 kg) and yield per hectare (14.22 t) was recorded in treatment (T7) Zinc sulphate @ 1%. The maximum values of weight of fruit (193 g), and weight of pulp (153.60 g) were observed with the application of CuSO4@ 1%+ FeSO4@ 1% + ZnSO4@ 1% + Borax@ 0.5% (T11).The maximum TSS (11.80 0 brix), reducing sugar (4.52%) and total sugar (7.40%) were observed with application of Zinc sulphate @ 1% (T7). The minimum acidity (0.35%) was observed with application of Ferrous sulphate @ 1% (T5).
