“…The fruit juice was obtained with a juice extractor and determined for pH and electrical conductivity (EC) using a portable potentiometer. The juice was also determined for titratable acidity (TA) following the methodology proposed by Boland (1990). Total soluble solids (TSS) were measured with a digital refractometer, placing a drop of juice in the reading cell of the device.…”

Salt stress affects plant metabolism, while beneficial elements such as titanium (Ti) may stimulate adaptive responses to mitigate salt stress. Here we evaluated the main effects of sodium chloride (NaCl 0, 50 and 100 mM) in the nutrient solution, and of titanium foliar spray (Ti 0.75 and 150 mg L-1), as well as the interaction of these study factors, on tomato cv. ‘Rio Supremo’ performance in greenhouse. Plants were treated with NaCl during 80 d through automated drip irrigation; while eight Ti foliar sprayings were applied with a manual sprayer, at intervals of 10 d each. Yield and quality parameters of fruits were evaluated in the second cluster. NaCl reduced yield parameters, pH value and increased the titratable acidity (TA), electrical conductivity (EC), and total soluble solids (TSS), as well as the TSS/TA ration in the fruits. Ti did not affect yield parameters, though it reduced the pH and increased the TSS/TA ratio of fruits. NaCl and Ti have differential effects on fruit quality as separate factors, while the interaction of both factors revealed that Ti effects dependent on the presence of NaCl and its level in the nutrient solution. In conclusion, Ti did not mitigate the negative effects of saline stress on the evaluated yield parameters, but importantly, with moderate levels of NaCl in the nutrient solution (50 mM), Ti increased EC, TA and TSS of fruits.

An experiment was carried out at KVK-Panchmahal, ICAR-CIAH, Godhra, Gujarat during 2014 and 2015 at five farmerâ€™s orchards to find out the impact of RDF, biofertilizers and mulching on yield and qualitative attributes of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Kesar in semi-arid conditions. Among the four treatments combinations, the maximum plant height (68%), stem girth (14.20%) and plant spread E-W (11.14%) and N-S (11.16%), yield (33.67kg/plant and 52.52 q/ha), TSS (16.290 brix), reducing (5.56 %), non-reducing (10.34 %) and total sugar (15.89%) was recorded when the plant treated with 75 % RDF + Azotobactor + PSB, each 250 g/plant) + mulching with grasses/straw @15 kg dry grass/sq m (T3) followed by RDF + mulching with grasses /straw @15 kg dry grass/sqm (T4), RDF (Recommended dose of manure (70 kg) and fertilizers @ N 1000g, P 750g and K 750 g /plant (T2) and control (T1). The maximum acidity (1.28 %) was recorded in T1 followed by T2 (1.19%) and T4 (0.75 %) and it was minimum in T3 (0.65%). The maximum cost of cultivation (Rupees 13 154/ha) was recorded in T2 and T4 followed by Rupees 12 686/ha in T3 and the same was minimum in T1 (Rupees 10 346/ha). The highest net returns (Rupees 41 831/ha) and cost benefit ratio (4.91) was computed in T3 followed by T4 (Rupees 39 831.40/ha and 3.33), T2 (Rupees 25 736.80/ha and 2.96) and T1 (Rupees 12 999.40/ha and 2.26). Results of the study revealed that the application of RDF (75%) + Azotobactor (250 g/plant) + PSB (250 g/plant)+mulching with grasses /straw (15 kg dry grass/sq m) were found to be more effective and can be applied to improve the vegetative growth, yield and quality of Kesar mango fruits. However, the application of RDF with grass mulching was also found to be better than bare RDF.
