Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at the central research farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science, Allahabad during (July-December 2017) to study the “Effect of foliar spray of urea and zinc on plant growth, yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Allahabad safeda under high density planting” Experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 16 treatments replicated thrice. The results revealed that maximum plant height (246.47 cm), number of branches (23.00), no of days for flowering (74.33 days), numbers of flower per plant (74.33), no of fruits per plant (42), on fruits set percentage (54.44%), fruits weight (155.61g), fruits yield per plant (6.57kg), acidity (0.55%), ascorbic acid (267.30mg/100g), total soluble solid (12.25 0Brix), and sugar (8.15%) were recorded in T12 (Urea 2% + zinc 0.6%) followed by T11 (Urea 2% + zinc 0.4%). The least values were recorded in the control.
