IMPACT OF SUMMER SEASON, PLANT DENSITY AND INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF GUAVA CV. LALIT

Abstract

The guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Lalit" was studied under different spacing (2 x 2, 3 x 3, 6 x 3 and 6 x 6 m) in rainy season for postharvest quality at Regional Horticulture Research Station, College of Horticulture, Bengaluru. The maximum TSS (15.14 0B), titratable acidity (0.44 %), sugar:acid ratio (39.17), total sugars (15.57 %), reducing sugars (9.19 %) and ascorbic acid (169.24 mg 100-1 g pulp), PLW (9.31 %), Firmness of fruit (3.50 kg/cm2). The integrated nutrient management maximum TSS (15.77 0B), titratable acidity (0.34 %), sugar:acid ratio (52.70), total sugars (16.74 %), reducing sugars (9.91 %) and ascorbic acid (184.52 mg 100-1 g pulp), PLW (6.85 %), Firmness of fruit ( 4.55 kg/cm2) was recorded.
