Effect of foliar application of boron and GA3 on morphological and quality parameters of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Lalit

Abstract

An experiment entitled “Effect of foliar application of Boron and GA3 on growth, yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Lalit” was conducted at University guava orchard, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Gwalior during Mrig bahar at 2016-17. The experimental was laid out in the randomized block design with three replications and total treatment combination nine. Result based on investigation study revealed that the highest value of morphological parameters such as shoot length (20.79 cm), shoot diameter (4.40mm), No. of flower per shoot (23.31), fruit set (83.5%) and quality parameter fruit volume (202.78 ml), specific gravity (1.06) and T.S.S. (11.37 0Brix) were recorded under interaction of treatment (B2G2) @ boron (0.4%)+GA3 (100 ppm) at 90 Days. Conclude that the best treatment combination B2G2 with respect of morphological and quality parameters all three stage of guava.
