Effect of NPK fertilization on physico-chemical properties of guava under high density planting
Author(s): MN Baviskar, SG Bharad and DS Kadam
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium individually and in combinations on physical and chemical properties of guava grown under high density planting system. Experimental findings revealed that, better fruit quality in respect of fruit size, fruit volume, pulp weight and acidity was noted when nutrients were applied in combination of 300 g N + 150 g P2O5 + 150 g K2O per plant. Chemical quality attributes viz., TSS, ascorbic acid content, pectin content, sugars and acid sugar ratio were found superior with a combination of 300 g N + 100 g P2O5 + 150 g K2O per plant. Principal components analysis suggests that treatment combinations viz., N2P2K1, N2P1K1, N1P2K1 and N1P1K1 are significant contributors for variables viz., TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid content, total sugars and pectin content.
