Abstract
An investigation on “Studies on foliar application of chemicals on flowering, yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) in hasta bahar” was carried out at farmers field during the year 2020-21. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with eleven treatments and three replications. The experiment consisted of eleven treatment combinations viz., T1-Cycocel 1500 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid,T2-Cycocel 2000 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T3- Nitrobenzene 5ml/lit + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T4-Nitrobenzene 7.5ml/lit + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T5-Salicylic acid 100 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T6- Salicylic acid 200 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T7-Ethrel 2% + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T8-Ethrel 3% + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid, T9-Potassium nitrate 2% + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid,T10-Potassium nitrate 3% + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid,T11- control.The result obtained for flowering, yield and quality attributes had significantly influenced due to foliar application of different chemicals over control. Flowering parameters viz. less number of male flowers (45.1) was recorded in treatment T8 while maximum number of hermaphrodite flower (185.20), total number of flower (234.89), more fruit set% (51.53) was recorded in treatment consisting of Salicylic acid 200 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% boric acid. maximum fruit length (10.37 cm), fruit diameter (8.76 cm), fruit volume (316.16 ml), fruit weight (295.90 g), number of arils per fruit (597.62), aril weight per fruit (225.01 g) was recorded in treatment Potassium nitrate 3% + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% Boric acid, maximum yield per plant (19.28 kg), yield per hectare (9.64 t/ha), was obtained in the treatment applied with Salicylic acid 200 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% Boric acid. Total soluble solids (15.8%), reducing sugar (10.71%), non-reducing sugar (2.57%), total sugar (13.28%), total soluble solids (14.21%) and minimum titrable acidity (0.29%), of pomegranate fruit were recorded by treatment Potassium nitrate 3% + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% Boric acid. B: C ratio (3.48) was recorded higher in treatment T6 (Salicylic acid 200 ppm + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% Boric acid) among treatments in present study.
