Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at Main Experiment Station, Department of Fruit Science, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.) during the year 2019-2021. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with four treatments i.e. control (no pruning), light pruning (10 cm from apical end), moderate pruning (20 cm from apical end), severe pruning (30 cm from apical end)in five replications and considering one plants as a unit. The pruning was performed in the first week of August. The observations were recorded morpho-physiological properties of Amrapali variety of mango fruits give the different response of pruning intensities. The maximum number of shoot bud sprouts, were observed with the severe pruning (30 cm from apical end)followed by Moderate Pruning (20 cm from apical end) and the minimum canopy volume were observed with the Severe Pruning (30 cm from apical end)followed by moderate pruning (20 cm from apical end). Whereas shoot length, Trunk girth, were maximum observed with the moderate pruning (20 cm from apical end) followed bySevere Pruning (30 cm from apical end).
