An investigation was undertaken to study the influence of season and spacing on the growth performance of ambrette (Abelmoschus moschatus Medic.). The field experiment was conducted in two seasons viz., January to June (season I) and July to December (season II) with five spacing levels (T1– 60 cm × 30 cm ; T2 – 60 cm × 45 cm ; T3 – 60 cm × 60 cm ; T4 – 75 cm × 60 cm; T5 – 75 cm × 75 cm). The design followed was Randomized Block Design with four replications. The observations regarding plant height, number of branches, stem girth, internodal length, number of leaves and leaf area were recorded and analysed statistically. The results revealed that the seeds sown during July to December (season II) with a spacing of 60 cm × 60 cm recorded the highest values for the above growth characters in ambrette.

In vivo macropropagation is an alternative simple and cheap technique for banana multiplication. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design with 13 treatments in three replications. The treatments consisted of three growing media (FYM, Rice hull, Sawdust), two biofertilizers (Azospirillum and VAM) with sand alone as control. Observations on the production of primary, secondary and tertiary buds was recorded. The results of the study revealed that use of FYM + VAM (T7) as growing media resulted in increasing the primary, secondary and tertiary bud regeneration. The time taken for emergence of primary, secondary and tertiary buds was also earlier in the treatment T7 (FYM + VAM).Keywords

The present investigation on effect of media on growth parameters of banana cv. POOVAN was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University during 2014-2016. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design with 13 treatments in three replications. The treatments consisted of three growing media (FYM, Rice hull, Sawdust), two biofertilizers (Azospirillum and VAM) with sand alone as control. The results of the study revealed that the pseudostem height, pseudostem girth and number of leaves produced sucker-1 were favourably influenced by the treatment T7 (FYM + VAM) followed by T10 (FYM + Rice hull + VAM). Regarding ischolar_main production, T8 (Rice hull + VAM) was found to be the best treatment. Further more survival percentage of plants was higher in the treatments in which FYM was used as the regeneration medium along with VAM.Keywords

The present investigation on influence of time and intensity of pruning on quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. LUCKNOW 49 was conducted at the orchard of the Department of Horticulture, Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu. Five years old guava trees of the cultivar Lucknow 49 were taken for this investigation. Different pruning levels and time of pruning viz., pruning 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm of apical shoots during mid March, mid April, mid May comprised the treatment combinations. The effect of different treatments were evaluated based on their influence on the quality attributes viz., TSS, ascorbic acid content, acidity, total sugar content. Among the various pruning treatments, it was observed that pruning 30 cm of apical shoots during mid March proved to be the best in increasing the quality of fruits followed by 20 cm level of pruning during mid March. The results of the present study indicate that the effect of various pruning treatments on the quality of guava cv. LUCKNOW 49 was more pronounced in season II when compared to season I.Keywords

An investigation on the effect of pruning intensities on yield of guava cv. Lucknow 49 was undertaken at the Department of Horticulture, Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu. Five years old guava trees of the cultivar Lucknow 49 were taken for this investigation. Different pruning levels and time of pruning viz., pruning 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm of apical shoots during mid March, mid April, mid May comprised the treatment combinations. Among the various pruning treatments, it was observed that pruning 30 cm of apical shoots during mid March proved to be the best in increasing the yield and yield attributes like fruit weight and fruit yield per tree followed by 20 cm level of pruning during mid March. The results of the present study indicate that the effect of various pruning treatments on the yield of guava cv. LUCKNOW 49 was more pronounced in season II when compared to season I. In conclusion, pruning 30 cm of apical shoots during mid March can be recommended for commercial fruit production with enhanced yield in guava cv. LUCKNOW 49.Keywords
