    Effect of Foliar Spray of Gibberellic acid and Urea on Growth, Flowering, Yield and Quality of Guava(Psidium guajava L.) cv. L-49
    (College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, 2018-12-31) CARPENTER, SONU; Jain, M. C.
    A field experiment entitled ‘‘Effect of Foliar Spray of Gibberellic acid and Urea on Growth, Flowering, Yield and Quality of Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. L-49’’ was conducted at the Instructional Farm Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry Jhalawar, during 2017 - 2018. The experiment consisted of 18 treatments included in one spray and two spray, having three level of urea (0, 1.0 and 2.0 %) and GA3 (0, 50 and 100 ppm). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Among different doses of foliar spray of GA3, urea and number of spray two spray of GA3 100 ppm + Urea @ 2 % was found superior over control in most of the growth, flowering, quality and yield characteristics of guava. In case of interaction effect of foliar spray treatment T18 (Two spray of GA3 100 ppm+ Urea @ 2 %) was found significantly superior over control. This treatment manifested maximum increase shoot length, shoot diameter, plant spread (E-W) and (N-S), fruit set and fruit retention. Maximum number of flower per shoot, flesh thickness, fruit length and diameter, sensory score, number of fruit per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, estimated yield, ascorbic acid and minimum days taken to flowering initiation and also number of seeds per fruit. Further T17 (Two spray of GA3 100 ppm + Urea @ 1 %) also significantly improved quality parameter like TSS, TSS : acid ratio, total sugar , reducing sugar content and minimum days taken to harvesting and acidity per cent. Similarly, T18 (Two spray of GA3 100 ppm + Urea @ 2 %) treatment has resulted the maximum gross return of Rs. 93300 /ha. which was Rs. 44400 / ha. excess over control. Further, the highest net profit (Rs. 26425/ ha.) was also estimated at this treatment which was 54.03 per cent higher than control.
