Effect of integrated nutrient management on physical characteristics of Guava under Meadow Orcharding CV. Allahabad Safeda

Abstract

An experiment was carried out during 2016 in the central field of Department of Horticulture Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and sciences, Allahabad (U.P) on three years old guava plants under Meadow orcharding cv. Allahabad safeda. The results revealed that the application of Azatobacter + (100% Nitrogen through urea) T11, significantly influence the physical parameters of guava, Maximum increase in tree height (21.99%), canopy spread N-S direction (23.57%), and E-W (23.50%) were obtained with treatment T11. whereas maximum number of fruits/tree (21), Maximum average fruit weight (190.10gm), Maximum fruit length (7.10cm), Maximum fruit diameter (7.15 cm), Maximum fruit volume (192.13), Maximum fruit yield/tree (3.99Kg),Fruit yield/ha (199.58 q) has been obtained with treatment T14 Azotobacter + (75% Nitrogen through urea + 25 % Vermicompost)
