L-49” which was carried out during 2022-23.The experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 8 treatments and 3 replications. The healthy fruits about 60 days after fruit set were selected for bagging. The different bagging material were used such as newspaper bag, butter paper bag, transparent polythene bag, black polythene bag, yellow polythene bag, brown paper bag and non-woven bag, bags were tied with thread properly.Three plants under each treatment were selected for experiment, among the all treatments the minimum days recorded for fruit maturity is in treatment non-woven bag (T7) while all the physical parameters such as fruit length, diameter, volume flesh thickness and seed cavity size were found maximum in treatment non-woven bag (T7) whereas, all other treatments prove significantly better then control. Furthermore, effect of various bagging materials significantly influenced thebio-chemical attributes such as TSS, total sugars, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, ascorbic acid, and phenol content. Maximum total sugars, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar were recorded in non-woven bag (T7), bagging with black polythene bag (T4) improved the ascorbic acid content of the fruit whereas bagging with yellow polythene bag (T5) gives high pectin and fiber content. Bagging significantly proven better then control in all the quality parameters of fruits. Whereas it is recommended that bagging of guava fruits with non-woven bag can provide maximum yield, with economic feasibility and good quality parameters.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF BAGGING ON FRUIT QUALITY OF POMEGRANATE (Punica granatum L.) cv.

INDIA, 2023-07-21) ABHISHEK PRATAP; Anand SinghCitrus is the world leading fruit crop. Kinnow, which is a most flavoured and aromatic member of Mandarin group, is a hybrid between ‘King’ Mandarin (Citrus nobilis Lour) and ‘Willow Leaf’ Mandarin (Citrus deliciosa Tenora). Heavy fruit dropping is a great factor for low productivity of Kinnow Mandarin. The present study entitled “Effect of preharvest spray of growth substances on fruit drop, yield and quality of Kinnow Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco)” was carried out at experimental orchard in the University campus, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during 2022-23. Various concentration of four different plant growth substances, Salicylic Acid (SA, 15 ppm), ZnSO4 (0.5 and 0.25 %), K2SO4 (0.25 %) and Ca(NO3)2 (0.25 %) and their combinations were applied foliarly two times (15th October and 15thNovember) to study the impact of different treatments on pre-harvest drop, yield, quality and shelf-life of Kinnow fruit. The results revealed that the pre-harvest application of SA + ZnSO4 + K2SO4 was most effective among all other treatments to control pre-harvest drop and increased the fruit yield with enhanced quality. The physical attributes of the fruit viz. Fruit length and width, fruit weight, volume and juice recovery were also increased while peel thickness, peel content and rag content were decreased with SA + ZnSO4 + K2SO4 application. Fruit firmness was found highest with the application of SA + Ca(NO3)2. The treatments not had any significant effect on the specific gravity and colour of the fruit. Biochemical parameters viz. TSS, TSS: acidity ratio, sugar, ascorbic acid content, antioxidants and total phenols were also increased with the treatment of SA + ZnSO4 + K2SO4, while the titratable acidity was reduced with the same treatment. Pectin content was increased with the application of SA + Ca(NO3)2. The fruits harvested from the trees applied with the treatment SA + Ca(NO3)2 + K2SO4 had higher shelf-life as they showed minimum PLW % and got higher scores in sensory analysis during storage.ThesisItem Open Access “EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PRUNING INTENSITIES AND TIME ON GROWTH, YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY OF PHALSA (Grewia subinaequalisDC.)(Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda -210001 Uttar Pradesh (India), 2022-10-06) PATEL, RAHUL; Thakur, .
