The present experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Instructional Farm, Department of Horticulture, J.A.U., Junagadh during the winter 2004-05. The experiment comprised of ten treatments, viz., three concentrations of GA3 (50, 150, 250 ppm) at three frequencies (single, double and triple spray at 30, 45 and 60 days from transplanting) and control. Each treatment was replicated thrice in randomized block design. Of the different treatments, GA3 250 ppm single spray recorded maximum plant height and plant spread. Number of branches per plant was highest under double spray of GA3 at 50 ppm. Longest flowering duration, maximum flower diameter and maximum shelf-life were observed with single spray of 250 ppm GA3. It also registered maximum number and weight of flowers per plant besides highest flower yield.Keywords

Field experiments were conducted for three years to assess the performance and select the cultivar ideally suited to Saurashtra region in Gujarat. The cultivars evaluated were Basrai, Harichal, Robusta, Gros Michel, Gandevi Selection and Lacatan. Of these, Gandevi Selection proved superior, with regard to growth parameters, yield characters and its attributes. It also yielded the highest benefit cost ratio.Keywords

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.
