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 1st May (M1), 1st June (M2) and 1st July (M3) are done and four level of pruning intensity are done at 0% pruning (P0), 25% pruning (P25), 50% pruning (P50) and 75% pruning (P75) 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.
