“…An increased level of fruit retention up to 24.55% and subsequently higher yield of 64.28 % was recorded in the best treatment (A. brasilense + AMF) over the control. Similar result of improved fruit retention and yield with the application of biofertilizer was observed by several researchers in guava (Ram et al, 2007;Barne et al, 2013). Increasing productivity of various crops for utilization of organic fertiliser could be better preposition for improving biological attributes of soil, which in turn may increase productivity of various crops (Allen et al, 2002).The increase in fruit retention and yield with bio-fertilizer may be due to the build up of colonies of the applied bio-fertilizer inoculates and their growth promoting effects including the synthesis of plant growth promoting substances to enhance photosynthetic activity (Dutta et al, 2009).…”

“…Here also A. brasilense + AMF gave maximum fruit length (8.49 cm), fruit diameter (7.11 cm), fruit weight (143.43 g), core weight (45.3 g) and pulp weight (98.11 g) and this was followed by the combined application of A. brasilense + B. megatherium while control recorded minimum values in all cases. These results are in conformity of previous observation depicted by Dey et al (2005), Ram et al (2007), Binepal et al (2013) in their experiment on guava with different biofertilizer. Biofertilizer is considered as a significant source of different micronutrients which play an important role in regulation of length and diameter of guava by enhancing metabolic activities in plant cells (Sharma et al, 2013).…”

A field experiment was conducted at the farmer's field, Gayeshpur, Nadia, West Bengal during 2013-15 to study the effect of different bio-fertilizers on yield, fruit quality and leaf mineral composition of guava cv. L-49. The experiment was implemented using a randomized complete-block design with three replicates. Ten treatments of different bio-fertilizers alone and in combinations along with one chemical and absolute control i.e. no fertilization treatment were applied on 6 years old guava plant. Among different treatments of bio fertilizers, Azospirillum brasilense + AMF (Arbuscular mycorhizal fungi) showed highest (56.30%) fruit retention and maximum fruit yield (41.3 kg plant -1

“…The dosage of organic fertilizer was 120 kg per year in an orchard with intensive cultural practice while it was only 25-60 kg per year in an orchard with less intensive cultural practice. Previous studies reported the improvement of guava fruit quality due to the application of organic fertilizers (Ram et al 2007;Das et al 2015). Besides, there was a positive correlation between the macronutrients and micronutrients in the available soil (Shukla et al 2014).…”

Abstract. Musyarofah N, Susanto S, Aziz SA, Suketi K, Dadang. 2020. The diversity of ‘kristal’ guava (Psidium guajava) fruit quality in response to different altitudes and cultural practices. Biodiversitas 21: 3310-3316. The current study aimed to compare the quality of ‘kristal’ guava fruit harvested from different altitudes under different cultural practices. The study was conducted from January to March 2019. Four treatments were examined, i.e., fruit from low altitude-intensive cultural (LI), low altitude-less intensive cultural (LI), middle altitude-intensive cultural (MI), and middle altitude-less intensive cultural (ML). All treatments were arranged in a completed randomized design and each treatment had five trees as replicates The findings of the study showed that there was a variation of fruit quality in response to different altitudes and cultural practices. The fruits harvested from low altitudes were significantly bigger and heavier than the fruits harvested from middle altitude, irrespective of cultural practices. With regard to fruit softness, the fruits from middle altitudes were crispier than fruits from the low altitude. The chemical qualities of the fruits, indicated by TSS/TA ratio and vitamin C, were better in guava orchard under intensive cultural practice than less intensive cultural practice. The intensive cultural practice also improved the guava fruit size as compared to the less intensive cultural practice. This finding may be attributed to pruning which is performed in intensive cultural practice. More beneficial metabolites for human health such as vitamin E and caryophyllene were found in fruit from low altitude.

“…The quality improvement in fruits may be due to proper supply of nutrients and induction of growth hormones, which stimulated cell division, cell elongation, increase in number and weight of fruits, better root development and better translocation of water uptake and deposition of nutrients. This might be attributed due to the improved fertilizer use efficiency with the application of organic source of nutrients (Ranjan and Gosh, 2006) in sweet orange and Ram et al (2007) in guava.…”

Integrated nutrient management refers to maintenance of the soil fertility and plant nutrient supply to an optimum level for sustaining the desired crop productivity through optimization of the benefits from all possible sources of plant nutrient in an integrated manner. Therefore, it is a holistic approach, where we first know what exactly is required by the plant for an optimum level of production, in what different forms these nutrients should be applied in soil and at what different timings in the best possible method and how best these form should be integrated to obtain highest productive efficiency on the economically acceptable limits in an environment friendly manner. To identify suitable integration of different sources of nutrients in different ratios with respect to vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality, a field investigation was carried out on integrated nutrient management in acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) in randomized block design with three replications. There were nine treatments, T 1-Control (500 : 300 : 300 g NPK per tree through fertilizers), T 2-2/3 RDF + 1/3 through Goat manure, T 3-2/3 RDF + 1/3 through Neem Cake, T 4-1/3 RDF + 2/3 through Goat manure, T 5-1/3 RDF + 2/3 through Neem Cake, T 6-50% RDF + 50% through Goat manure, T 7-50% RDF + 50% through Neem Cake, T 8-100% RDF as Goat manure, T 9-100% RDF as Neem Cake. The observation on growth parameters of acid lime tree, fruit yield and yield attributes and fruit quality were recorded to study the effect of treatments and their interpretation. Results of the investigation revealed that treatment T 6 (50% RDF + 50% through goat manure) performed best among all treatments. The maximum vegetative growth and yield (7.58 kg tree-1) of fruits having highest fruit length (4.43 cm), fruit diameter (3.99 cm) and fruit weight (35.71 g) was recorded under T 6 treatment. Similarly best quality fruits were also produced with maximum juice (43.37%), TSS (10.42%) and Ascorbic acid (86.33 mg/100 g juice) content and minimum seed (1.15%) and acidity (6.06%) content under the same treatment.
