Abstract
An investigation on “Effect of different pruning intensities and time on growth, yield
and fruit quality of phalsa (Grewia subinaequalis DC) was carried out at Department of Fruit
science, College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture& Technology, Banda during
2021-22. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with three
replications. All the growth, yield and quality parameters were periodically observed. Analysis
of results revealed that the treatment combination P2D1 (20 cm pruning + 1st week of January)
improved economically important characteristics viz. average number of branches per plant
(89.00 branches), plant spread (E-W, N-S) (1.40 m), plant height (2.00 m), average number of
leaves per branch (32.00), minimum days taken to flowering (25.00), minimum days taken to
fruit setting (8.00), number of fruit cluster per plant (1754.33), average number of fruits per
cluster (11.00), average fruit weight (4.62 g), average yield of fruits per plant (0.95 kg), average
fruit length (1.15 cm), average fruit breath (0.99 cm), fruit TSS (24.00 0Brix). However,
minimum days taken to sprouting (15.00), was noticed with treatment combination P2D4 (20 cm
+ 4th week of January) while maximum titrable acidity (2.48 %), was observed with treatment
combination P3D1 (30 cm + 1st week of january). On the basis of research findings, it can be
concluded that treatment combination P2D1 (20 cm pruning + 1st week of January) showed the
best performance w.r.t. growth, yield and quality, attributes of phalsa (Grewia
subinaequalisDC.).
