(Unpublished).https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810178855The present experiment was carried out during academic year 2019-2020 at Kishi Vigyan Kendra, Buldhana and chemical analysis was done at Analytical Laboratory, Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (M.S). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replication and five treatment Viz., V1- Sardar, V2- Shweta, V3- Lalit, V4- VNR and V5-G.Vilas.The present investigation entitled “Studies on performance of high density planted guava under Buldhana conditions” was carried out at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Buldhana. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with five varieties and four replication. The guava varierties viz., V1- Sardar, V2- Shweta, V3- Lalit, V4- VNR and V5-G.Vilas were evaluated during 2019-20. The result were obtained for characters viz., Plant height, plant spread, plant canopy, number of flowers per plant, flower drop per plant, average fruit set per plant, fruit set percentage, average fruit drop per plant, fruit drop percentage, average number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, yield per plant, yield per hectare, fruit diameter, fruit volume, total soluble solids, sugars, acidity and ascorbic acid were statistically analyzed. The maximum plant growth in respect of plant spread and plant canopy was found superior in variety Sardar and maximum plant height was found in variety G.Vilas. The yield attributing characters viz., more number of flowers per plant, fruit set percentage and fruit set per plant with minimum fruit drop and flower drop per plant was found associated with variety Sardar. Similarly highest number of fruits per plant, maximum fruit yield per plant and per hectare was recorded in the same variety under high density planting. The highest average fruit weight was recorded in variety VNR. The better fruit quality parameter in viz., total soluble solids, reducing sugar, non- reducing and total sugar was found significantly superior in variety Sardar followed by Lalit. The highest acidity and ascorbic acid was recorded in variety Shweta and highest fruit diameter, fruit volume was recorded in variety VNR.EnglishThesis
