Effect of integrated nutrient management on fruit quality and shelf life of Aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) cv. Gujarat Aonla-1

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to study the "Effect of integrated nutrient management on quality and shelf life of Aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.

Impact of Nutrient Management through Bio-organic Manure on Bio-chemical Attributes of Aonla (Emblica Officinalis Gaertn.) cv. NA-10

“…However minimum reducing sugar (2.10%) was recorded Manure application could be attributed to the quick metabolic transformation of starch and pectin into soluble compounds and rapid translocation of sugars from leaves to the developing fruits as well as the conversion of complex polysaccharides into simple sugars. Similar results were noted by Jamra et al [18], Kour et al [17] in Aonla, Verma et al [20] in phalsa, Rai et al [21] in Pear and Chawla et al [22]. The application of Poultry Manure (7.5 kg/tree) + RDF 50% Azospirillium + (10ml/tree) +PSB (10ml/tree) (Table 1) showed significant maximum non-reducing sugars (3.0% ) followed by FYM (10kg/tree) + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml/tree) PSB (10ml/tree).…”

“…The decrease in acidity of fruits may be attributed to their conversion into sugars. Similar findings were also reported by Bohane et al [16], Jamra et al [18], Athani [19], Yadav et al [15], Sharma et al [13] and Jaiswal et al [14] in guava.…”

“…The high non-reducing sugar (2.52%) were also recorded with application of Poultry Manure (7.5 kg/tree) + RDF 50% + Azospirillium (10ml/tree) + PSB (10ml/tree). The research findings were supported by Verma et al [20] in Phalsa, Chawla et al [22], Jamra et al [18] and Kour et al [17] in Aonla.…”
