Abstract:
The current investigation was undertaken at Fruit Research Station, Sakkarbaug Farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during the year 2022. The study unveiled that highest incremental plant spread (E-W) (0.72 m), number of fruits per plant (93.93), fruit yield per plant (16.22 kg) and yield per hectare (12.01 tonnes) were noted in 100% RDN (U₁). Regarding nano-urea, maximum fruit set (75.33%), number of fruits per plant (102.58), fruit yield per plant (18.64 kg) and fruit yield per hectare (13.81 tonnes) were registered in 0.1% nano-urea (N₁). For interaction effect, maximum number of fruits per plant (112.00), fruit yield per plant (18.66 kg) and yield per hectare (13.82 tonnes) were reported in 100% RDN + 0.1% nano-urea (U₁N₁). While, maximum incremental plant height (0.83 m) and plant spread (E-W) (0.91 m) were found in 100% RDN + 0.6% nano-urea (U₁N₅) and maximum incremental plant spread (N-S) (1.43 m) was noted in 80% RDN + 0.6% nano-urea (U₂N₅). From present study, it can be inferred that an application of 100% RDN with 0.1% nano-urea increased fruit yield per plant and per hectare in guava.
