RESPONSE OF HIGH DENSITY SPACING ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL QUALITY AND YIELD OF GUAVA (Psidium guajava L.) cv. PANT PRABHAT
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Centre, Patharchatta, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar to record the response of high density spacing on fruit quality and yield of guava during 2012-13 and 2013-14. The four spacing treatments [1.0 X 1.0 m (S1), 2.0 X 1.0 m (S2), 2.0 X 1.5 m (S3) & 1.5 X 1.5 m (S4)] were replicated six times in randomized block design. The treatment S3 showed significantly maximum total sugars, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, ascorbic acid and mean fruit weight, whereas, high density planting treatment S1 gave significantly lower mean fruit weight. Significantly higher yield per plant was obtained with the treatment S3, while, yield per hectare was recorded significantly higher with the spacing treatment S1 during both the experimental years.
