A study was conducted to develop a ready-to-serve (RTS) beverage using tamarind dried fruit at Department of Horticulture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during 2011-2012. The results of physico-chemical analysis revealed that TSS, acidity and reducing sugar content increased while the ascorbic acid content decreased with the advancement of storage period. The findings of microbial studies showed no total plate counts in the formulated beverages except treatments T7 and T12. Sensory evaluation of the samples showed that there were significant differences between treatments with respect to overall acceptance. From the results of quality assessments, the formulated beverage with 12 per cent blended juice of tamarind and ginger (3:1), 21 per cent TSS and 0.3 per cent acidity was found superior in quality and could be stored at ambient conditions for a period of five months without any significant changes in quality.

A field experiment was conducted at Hi-tech Horticulture Park, Department of Horticulture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during Late Kharif season in the year 2010 with mulch to study the effect of planting geometry on yield and quality of watermelon. It consists of twelve treatment combinations, comprising of three levels of planting geometry viz., diagonally paired row with 80 cm spacing (G1), parallel paired row with 80 cm spacing (G2) and parallel paired row with 40 cm spacing (G3) were embedded in a Split Plot Design in CRD with four replications. The experiment resulted that with maximum yield and quality attributing characters under study were significantly affected by planting geometry treatments. Highest fruit length (21.25 cm), fruit girth (13.81 cm), yield tons per hectare (44.33 t/ha), pulp weight (1712.57 g), lowest rag weight (610.90 g), total soluble solids (10.98 °B), non-reducing sugars (3.91 %), reducing sugars (1.72 %), total sugars (5.25 %) and ascorbic acid content (7.90 mg/100 g pulp) were recorded under G1 (Diagonally paired row with 80 cm spacing). While, superior fruit yield in terms of kg per plot (38.38 kg) was found in G3 (Parallel paired row with 40 cm spacing).Keywords

A field experiment was conducted in polyhouse at Hi-tech Horticulture Park, Department of Horticulture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during Late Kharif season of the year 2010 with mulch to study the effect of retention of fruits on yield and quality of watermelon. It consisted of twelve treatment combinations, comprising of four levels of fruit retention viz., 2 fruits/plant (F1), 3 fruits/plant (F2), 4 fruits/plant (F3) and control (All fruits were retained) (F4) were embedded in a Split Plot Design in CRD with four replications. The experiment result were highest average fruit weight (2.57 kg), yield tons per hectare (45.27 t/ha), maximum pulp weight (1706.56 g), total soluble solids (11.18 °B), non-reducing sugars (3.95 %), reducing sugars (1.70 %), total sugars (5.29 %) and ascorbic acid content (7.86 mg/100 g pulp) was found in case of F2 (3 fruits per plant). While, maximum fruit length (21.29 cm), fruit girth (13.84 cm) and lowest rag weight (612.66 g) was observed in case of F1 (2 fruits per plant). Whereas, maximum fruit yield in terms of kg per plot (36.76 kg) and number of fruits per plot (18.66) was recorded in case of F3 (4 fruits per plant).Keywords
