Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Physicochemical Parameters of Acid Lime Fruits

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 at Central Research Station,. PDKV, Akola to find out effect of integrated nutrient management on Physico-Chemical Parameters of Acid Lime. The eleven different combination of treatments are taken to find out better better fruit physico-chemical parameters. Fruit physical quality viz. , fruit weight,length and breadth, peel thickness and fruit juice content was observed due to the application of75% RDF (450-225-225g NPK) + 50kg FYM+lO0g Azospirillum + 100g PSB /plant+200g ZnSO/plant and 75% RDF (450-225-225 g NPK) + 50 kg FYM+ 500 g AM/plant+ 100g PSB / plant + 200g ZnSO/ plant. However, maximum TSS and titrable acidity was recorded with75% RDF (450-225-225g NPK) + 50kg FYM+ 100g Azospirillum. While, ascorbic acid content was found maximum with application of 75% RDF (450-225-225g NPK) + 50kg FYM+ 100g Azospirillum + 100g PSB / plant+200g ZnSO/plant.
