A field experiment was laid out in two factorial randomized block design with four levels of pruning and seven levels of nutrients, consisting recommended dose of fertilizers and different combinations of organic manure (vermicompost), inorganic fertilizer, bio-fertilizer (azotobacter), mycorrhiza (VAM) and their interaction between 2013 and 2015 on 9-year-old lemon plants. Studies revealed that all physicochemical parameters, viz. fruit weight, puncture force, total soluble solid, total sugar, ascorbic acid were highest in (P3N4) combination of higher level of pruning. However, the maximum availability of leaf and soil nutrients was recorded in N4.

Abstract


A field experiment was laid out in two factorial randomized block design with four levels of pruning and seven levels of nutrients, consisting recommended dose of fertilizers and different combinations of organic manure (vermicompost), inorganic fertilizer, bio-fertilizer (azotobacter), mycorrhiza (VAM) and their interaction between 2013 and 2015 on 9-year-old lemon plants. Studies revealed that all physicochemical parameters, viz. fruit weight, puncture force, total soluble solid, total sugar, ascorbic acid were highest in (P3N4) combination of higher level of pruning. However, the maximum availability of leaf and soil nutrients was recorded in N4.
