abstract
The present experiment was carried out to investigate “Studies on the effect of nutrient management on morphological and economical parameters of Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Sweat and Lalit” conducted on Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during the year 2018-2019.The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications. The two factors comprise of variety (Shweta (V₁) and Lalit (V₂) and nutrients (N₀ control, N₁= FYM + NPK (400g:300g:250g) + Zinc (0.5%), N₂ = FYM + NPK (400g:300g:250g) + Borax (1%), N₃= FYM+NPK (400g:300g:250g) +Zinc (0.5%) + Borax (0.5%) with a total of eight treatment with an objective to encourage the winter season fruiting. Based on the experimental results it can be concluded that maximum growth of guava tree fruit quality of guava viz. number of fruits/trees, fruit weight, diameter of fruit, fruit length and width, specific gravity of fruit and nutrients in (N₃) yield (kg/tree) and (q/tree) also found maximum this treatment. Over all it can be concluded that the variety in Lalit variety during N₃= FYM+NPK (400g: 300g: 250g) + Zinc (0.5%) + Borax (0.5%) was found best of healthy vegetative growth, higher yield and better-quality fruit of guava during winter season.
