Abstract:
An experiment was carried out to know the influence of carrier and liquid biofertilizers on yield attributing characters and yield of guava cv. Taiwan White at College of Horticulture, Dr. YSRHU, V.R. Gudem, Andhra Pradesh during 2019-20 and 2020-21 on three year old guava trees planted at 2.8 x 2.8 spacing. The experiment was carried out in a factorial RBD with three replications. Among the treatments, all the inorganic and biofertilizer combinations exhibited profound effect on yield parameters than inorganic fertilizer alone. Guava plants applied with 100% RDF +NFB, PSB and KSB liquid biofertilizers (T₂) showed significant differences with respect to number of fruits plant^-1 (62.67), fruit weight (375.09 g), fruit diameter (9.61cm), fruit length (9.65 cm), fruit volume (368.38 cm³), fruit yield plant^-1 (23.51 kg) and fruit yield acre^-1 (11.96 t/acre) which was on par with 80% RDF + NFB, PSB and KSB liquid biofertilizers (T₅) for number of fruits plant^-1 (61.50), fruit weight (371.03 g), fruit diameter (9.49 cm), fruit yield plant^-1 (22.82 kg) and for fruit yield acre^-1 (11.58 t/ha).
