Feasibility of Organic Farming in Guava (Psidium Guajava L.)

Response of Pomegranate to Different Organic Manures under Northern Dry Zone of Karnataka, India

“…These results are also in confirmation with Naik and Babu (2007) who reported that application of vermicompost resulted in highest number of shoots per plant in guava. Choudary (2016) also reported that vermicompost altered various enzymatic activities in plants such as peroxidase, catalase etc., which promotes cell elongation, root and shoot growth and carbohydrate metabolism in ber.…”

Influence of Bio-fertilizer on guava (Psidium guajava L.) cultivation in gangetic alluvial plain of West Bengal, India

“…These findings are in consonance with result of several earlier researchers like Yadav et al (2012), Varsha et al (2011) and Sharma et al (2013) .The improved fruit quality may be attributed to better vegetative growth of the treated plants, which resulted in higher quantities of photosynthates (starch, carbohydrates etc.) and the translocation to the fruits thus increasing the contents of various fruits quality parameters (Naik & Haribabu, 2007). Increase in physicochemical parameters of fruits might be on account of influential role of bio-fertilizer in higher nitrogen fixation and uptake of nitrogen thereby stimulating the catalytic activity number of enzymes in the physiological processes and increasing production of sugars and amino acids that ultimately increase the total soluble solid, sugar and ascorbic acid content of the fruits (Dutta & Kundu, 2012).…”

Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Flowering Characters of Cocoa

“…Composted coir pith has very high porosity, aeration, drainage and water holding capacity and has a vast surface area, providing strong absorbability and retention of nutrients for longer period of time hence maximizing fruit setting percentage. Naik and HariBabu (2007), Singh et al, (2008) and Dhomane et al, (2011) in guava also reported similar results.…”
