Abstract:An experiment was carried out to study the “Response of pruning time and intensity on chemical attributes of guava (
Psidium guajava L.) Cv. Shweta” in the year 2018-2019. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design in a factorial arrangement having two factors
viz. time of pruning and pruning intensity. There was combination of three levels of time 1
st May (M
1), 1
st June (M
2) and 1
st July (M
3) are done and four level of pruning intensity are done at 0% pruning (P
0), 25% pruning (P
25), 50% pruning (P
50) and 75% pruning (P
75) were done at a time comprising twelve treatment combination.
Results reveal that the maximum Reducing sugars (%), Ascorbic acid content (mg/ 100g), Non- reducing sugar (%), Total soluble solid (ºBrix) was recorded with 50% pruning in the month of May, June, July, respectively whereas Maximum Total sugars (%) and Acidity (%) was found with the 25% pruning intensity in June and July respectively.
