    The experiment entitled “Effect of severity and time of pruning on growth, yield and quality of custard apple” was carried out at Highway Block, Central Fruit Research Station, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth Akola, during year 2016-17 with the objectives to the effect of different severity and time of pruning on growth, yield and quality of custard apple. To find out optimum severity and time of pruning for obtaining maximum yield and quality of custard apple. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with two different treatments first are Viz., P1 -15 cm, P2 -30 cm, P3 -45 cm and P4 (control) and second are D1 -15th April, D2 -30th April, D3 -15th May with twelve treatment combination which were replicated three times. Better growth observations in respect to plant growth, plant volume, mean of plant spread, leaf area, was recorded in 30 cm pruning severity on 30th April. The yield attributing character viz., number of days required for first flowering, number of flower per shoots, higher fruit set, number of seed per fruit was found in associated with 30 cm pruning severity and 30th April on time of pruning. Similarly the maximum number of fruit per plant, fruit yield per plant in kg was recorded in associated with 30 cm pruning severity on 30th April. The better fruit quality in respect of fruit weight, fruit size (length and diameter), total soliable solids, titrable acidity and total sugars was observed in associated with 30 cm pruning severity on 30th April. The effect of interaction between effect of severity and time of pruning on steam diameter, seed weight, splitting fruit and stoning fruit percentages was found non-significant.
