Abstract:
A randomized block designed experiment was taken up with seven treatments of three replications consisting recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) and RDF in combine with Organic manures and Vermicompost at different concentration during the year 2019. The experimental data revealed that the application of different treatments had positive influence on fruit physio-biochemical characteristics of lemon where, highest fruit length (9.15 cm), fruit diameter (5.33 cm) and fruit fresh weight (211.67 g), thickest peel (3.55 mm), maximum juice content (74 ml), TSS (6.4 °B), ascorbic acid (48 mg), total sugar (6.4%), reducing sugar (3.96%), non-reducing sugar (2.23%), free radical scavenging activity (%) (DPPH) (52.49%), were recorded in treatment T₄ - 60% N of RDF + 40% N from FYM.
