Effect of fertigation on biochemical parameters in mango cv. Baneshan under north-eastern transitional zone of Karnataka

Abstract

The investigation on standardization of fertigation levels in mango cv. Baneshan under north-eastern transitional zone of Karnataka was conducted during 2018- 2020. The results of experiment revealed that among the different fertigation levels, treatment T3 (75 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers through fertigation) found better regarding yield with moderate biochemical parameters viz., TSS (22.92 oB), ascorbic acid content (31.55 mg/100 g of pulp), titratable acidity (0.32%), carotenoid content (1.84 mg/100 g pulp), reducing sugars (5.10%), non-reducing sugars (9.50%), total sugars (14.60%) and with better shelf life (12.15 days) when compared to other treatments. The results obtained from the present investigation regarding effect of fertigation on mango cv. Baneshan can utilize for post- harvest studies and processed products in future.
