IMPACT OF SUMMER SEASON, PLANT DENSITY AND INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF GUAVA CV. LALIT
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Lalit" was studied under different spacing (2 x 2, 3 x 3, 6 x 3 and 6 x 6 m) in rainy season for postharvest quality at Regional Horticulture Research Station, College of Horticulture, Bengaluru. The maximum TSS (15.14 0B), titratable acidity (0.44 %), sugar:acid ratio (39.17), total sugars (15.57 %), reducing sugars (9.19 %) and ascorbic acid (169.24 mg 100-1 g pulp), PLW (9.31 %), Firmness of fruit (3.50 kg/cm2). The integrated nutrient management maximum TSS (15.77 0B), titratable acidity (0.34 %), sugar:acid ratio (52.70), total sugars (16.74 %), reducing sugars (9.91 %) and ascorbic acid (184.52 mg 100-1 g pulp), PLW (6.85 %), Firmness of fruit ( 4.55 kg/cm2) was recorded.
