Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the orchard of Division of Fruit Science, SKUAST-J for the study of chemical control of black tip in mango cv. Dashehari. The trial was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Five chemicals/antitranspirants viz., borex, washing soda, caustic soda, phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA) and kalonite were sprayed at different concentrations. The pooled data of two years revealed that the application of washing soda and caustic soda with 1.0 per cent concentration at flowering and fruiting stage significantly reduced the incidence of black tip as compared to control. Application of borex at 1.0 per cent significantly increased the fruit yield (15.42 kg/tree), fruit length (9.91 cm), fruit breadth (5.95 cm), fruit weight (153.79 g), fruit volume (151.99 cc), pulp weight (103.78 g), stone weight (28.55 g), flesh firmness (57.74 N) and TSS (17.57 %) in comparison to control.

Abstract

Pooled analysis of two-year data on nutrient status of 'Sardar' guava raised under organic manures and biofertilizers indicated that maximum leaf nitrogen (1.73%), phosphorus (0.24%), potassium (1.23%), calcium (1.96%), magnesium (0.80%); and maximum fruit nitrogen (1.12%), phosphorus (0.15%), potassium (0.94%), calcium (0.22%), magnesium (0.66%) was recorded, respectively, after fruit harvest with application of full dose of nitrogen to the plant applied through poultry manure augmented with Azotobacter and Azospirillium.

Abstract

The experiment was carried out to study the interaction between molybdenum and carbofuran on physical and biochemical levels of greengram. On the basis of findings, it is concluded that the treatment combination T₇ i.e. 2 kg Mo+5.6kg carbofuran/ha showed the best performance particularly with respect to plant height, crop yield and protein content, while maximum nodules formation was recorded in T₆ i.e. 2kg Mo+0kg carbofuran.
