Studies on Fruiting and Fruit Quality Characteristics in Tissue Cultured Plants of Pomegranate cv. Bhagwa
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
A study was undertaken to investigate the possible effects of different chemicals (Nitrobenzene (NB) @ 1.0 ml plant-1, NB @ 1.5 ml plant-1, NB @ 2.0 ml plant-1, Cycocel (CCC) @ 500 ppm plant-1, CCC @ 1000 ppm plant-1, CCC @ 1500 ppm plant-1, Uracil @ 25 ppm plant-1, Uracil @ 50 ppm plant-1, CCC @ 1000 ppm plant-1 + Uracil @ 25 ppm plant- 1, CCC @ 1500 ppm plant-1+ Uracil @ 50 ppm plant-1) on fruiting, fruit quality characteristics concomitant with anthocyanin content in pomegranate cv Bhagwa during the years 2016 – 17 at ICAR – IIHR, Hesaraghatta. The results showed that the fruits with highest weight (197.55 g), length (6.64 cm), total aril weight (113.63 g), percentage of aril weight (62.11 %), 100 aril weight (27.18 g), juice weight (101.94 g) and percentage (51.19 %) accompanied with highest anthocyanin content (6.647 mg 100g-1) were obtained with application of CCC @ 1000 ppm plant-1 in combination with Uracil @ 25 ppm. Highest fruit diameter (6.90 cm), TSS content (19.96 0B), TSS to acid ratio (46.68) and less titrable acidity (0.41 %) were apparent with foliar spray of Cycocel @ 1500 ppm plant-1, while its application @ 1000 ppm has resulted in highest fruit volume (162.70 ml).
