Influence of foliar nutrition of urea, borax and zinc sulphate on growth, yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Rewa-72

Abstract

A field experiment entitled Influence of foliar nutrition on growth, yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Rewa-72 was conducted at the Instructional cum research fruit orchard Department of Fruit Science KNK College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (MP) during 2016-17. The experiment was consisted of 15 treatments having two doses of urea (1% and 1.5%) and three doses of each borax (0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6%) and zinc sulphate (0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6%). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Result revealed that urea (1.5%) + borax (0.6%) + zinc sulphate (0.6%) (T15) was found significantly superior over control and rest of treatments with respect to growth, yield and quality attributes of guava.
