Nutrient Management in Aonla

The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and replicated in three times, considering one plant as a unit. The observations were recorded for fruit drop, fruit retention, physico-chemical and yield attributing characters of aonla fruits. The maximum fruit retention, size weight and volume recorded with combined spray of calcium nitrate (1%) + zinc sulphate (0.5%) + potassium sulphate (2%). The better quality fruits with respect to highest total soluble solids, sugars, ascorbic acid and low acidity percentage were recorded with combined spray of calcium nitrate (1%) + zinc sulphate (0.5%) + potassium sulphate (2%). The maximum yield was also recorded with the same treatment. Overall it can be concluded that combined spray of calcium nitrate (1%) + zinc sulphate (0.5%) + potassium sulphate (2%) judged the best for higher fruit yield, and better quality of aonla fruits.
