Effect of boron and zinc on fruit yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), cv. Bhagwa


Author(s): Laxmi Kant, RB Ram, Harendra, Mohit Lal and Satish Kumar Gautam

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16. Geographically Lucknow is situated at 26050’ N latitude, 80052’ E longitude and altitude of 111 miter above mean sea level (MSL)at Horticulture Research Farm-1, Babasaheb Bheemrao Ambedkar University Vidya Vihar, Rae Bareli Road, Lucknow, (U.P.) 226025, Studies on the “Effect of boron and zinc on Physical characters, Yield attributing characters and Bio-chemical aspects of fruits, yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), cv. Bhagwa”, revealed that Physical characters viz. Fruit weight(101.33g), Fruit length (0.53m), fruit diameter maximum (0.39m), Fruit volume (89.67ml) and Pericarp thickness (0.17mm), Peel weight(0.039g), Number of aril/fruit (302.67) and Aril weight(0.06 g), Aril length (0.48), Aril diameter (0.30), Yield attributing characters viz. Fruit yield g/plant (435.35g), Fruit yield kg/ha(299.67kg/ha), and Bio-chemical aspects viz. Specific gravity of fruit (2.07), Titratable Acidity (0.43%), Ascorbic acid (10.80mg/100g), Total Soluble Solids (14.470 Brix), Total sugars (6.00%), Reducing sugar (4.63%), Non-reducing sugar, (1.91%), of fruits were maximized. When we use with recommended dose of micronutrients (Boron 0.2%) + (Zinc 0.5%).
