Abstract: As investigation on Effect of foliar potassium forms, micronutrients and its combination on quality attributes of sweet orange (Citrus sinensisLOsbeck) was undertaken to study the effect of nutrients chemical properties on quality parameters of sweet orange at Horticulture Research Scheme (Pomology), Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani during the year 2016-17 to 2017-18. The experiment was laid out on well-established orchard at spacing of 6 x 6 m on Rangpur lime root stock in factorial randomised block design. The potassium form applied in the form of potassium nitrate @ 1%, mono potassium phosphate @ 1.5% and potassium sulphate @ 1% and micronutrient like chelated zinc @ 0.5% and ferrous @ 0.4%.
With respect of micronutrients foliar application of chelated zinc 0.5% recorded significantly maximum highest reducing sugar, total sugars percentage, ascorbic acid (mg/100ml) and minimum acidity during the two years and pooled analysis. With respect to potassium forms, foliar application of potassium sulphate 1% recorded significantly highest total soluble solids, reducing sugar, total sugar percentage, ascorbic acid (mg/100ml), firmness (kg/cm2) and minimum acidity. Foliar application of chealted zinc 0.5% + mono potatssium phosphate 1.5% (N1K2) recorded significantly highest values in chemicals parameters and lowest values observed in N2K3.
