Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of novel organic liquid fertilizer and plant growth regulators on quality of guava cv. Lucknow 49, during the year 2021 and 2022. Eleven treatments were imposed in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three repetitions and among the different treatments, GA3 150 mgl-1 (T8) noted higher total soluble solids, ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and minimum acidity during both the years and in pooled data. While, maximum shelf life was observed with salicylic acid 150 mgl-1 (T6) during both the years and in pooled data.

Keywords

Novel organic liquid fertilizer, plant growth regulators, quality and guava

Conclusion

From the two years of field study, it can be concluded that foliar application of GA3 150 mgl-1 improved fruit quality parameters like total soluble solids, acidity, ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing sugar and non- reducing sugar. While, application of salicylic acid 150 mgl-1 improved shelf life of guava fruits which was sprayed twice, first at July and second at August.
