Effect of super absorbent polymer and irrigation scheduling on growth attributes in acid lime

Abstract

The experiment was undertaken at Fruit Research Station, Imalia, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur during the year 2019-20. The response of super absorbent polymer and irrigation scheduling on growth, yield and quality attributes in acid lime was evaluated. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and total 13 treatments combinations including control. Statistically analyzed data shows that among the treatments the maximum increase in plant height (0.65 m), canopy spread E-W direction (0.55 m) and N-S direction (0.57 m), shoot length (12.45 cm), leaf length (6.43 cm), leaf width (3.44 cm) and leaf area (14.58 cm2), fruit length (47.26 mm), fruit width (40.51 mm) and chlorophyll content (60.60 SPAD value) which was significantly superior among all the treatments and control.
