Abstract:
An experiment was conducted on foliar application of plant growth regulator and nutrients on chemical composition of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 12 treatments and three replications. Among the physical and chemical parameter of fruit, significant maximum fruit set (35.17), fruit length (4.97), fruit width (4.37), fruit weight (53.10), pulp weight (50.68), seed weight (2.42), total soluble solids (15.08 ⁰Brix), protein (0.85%), total sugar (9.25%), reducing (6.32%), non-reducing sugar (2.93%), and average fruit yield (32.02 kg/tree) were recorded with the application of GA₃ (50ppm) + NAA (30ppm) +KNO₃(2%). Minimum ascorbic acid (26.70 ma/100) and titratable acidity (0.26%) content were recorded with application of GA₃ (50ppm) + NAA (30ppm) + KNO₃ (2%), while highest ascorbic acid (46.93 mg/100) and titratable acidity (0.43%) were recorded with the application of Urea (2%) and MOP (2%), respectively.
