Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Studies on the comparative performance of organic manures on yield, quality and Physico-chemical characteristics of winter season guava (Psidium guajava L.) in cv. L-49” was conducted during 2019-20 at the experimental field, Govind Nagar Farm- Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) to analyze the effect of organic matter on Physico-chemical attributes of guava fruit cv. L-49 Seven treatments of different organic manures viz. T1 (control), T2 (FYM), T3 (vermicompost), T4 (poultry manure), T5 (FYM + vermicompost), T6 (vermicompost + poultry manure) and T7 (FYM + poultry manure) were incorporated in Guava fruit plant cv. L-49 in Random Block Design with three replications. The different levels of organic manures were applied in the soil at a distance of 1-2 ft. away from the tree trunk. Fruit weight, fruit size (length and width), fruit volume, total soluble solids, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, and total sugars, acidity, and ascorbic acid were all investigated in guava fruits.
The observations revealed that plants fed with vermicompost + poultry manure produced the largest fruit (length and width 6.56 cm and 6.19 cm respectively), maximum weighted fruit (147.37 g), and fruit Volume (144.47 cc). Among the different manures, the application of vermicompost + poultry manure was found superior in the chemical parameter. Maximum TSS (13.90 0Brix), Sugars (reducing sugars, non-reducing sugar, and total sugars 7.58%, 3.94%, and 11.45% respectively) Ascorbic acid (145.03 mg/100g pulp), and lowest acidity (0.356) were reported in fruit produced from plants treated with vermicompost + poultry manure. The above observation indicates that among the different organic manures evaluated in the present study, vermicompost + poultry manure combination emerged as the best choice of organic manures, closely followed by FYM + poultry manure in improving the quality of guava fruits.
