Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during 2016-17 to 2020-21 at Fruit Research Station Kuthulia Farm, College of agriculture Rewa under All India Coordinated Research Project on Fruits. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The experiment was laid out in Row trial comprising 11 treatments. Data were recorded on tree height, canopy volume, tree spread, No of fruit, Fruit weight, TSS (^oB), acidity (%), Pulp weight (g), Fruit length & fruit breadth (cm) and seed weight (g), yield tree^-1, yield ha^-1 and benefit: cost ratio of different treatments. The results revealed that various hybrid of guava exhibited significant effect on canopy, yield and quality of the fruits. Different plant character maximum plant height MPUAT S-1 (3.29m) in treatment (T₁) however minimum SRD H-1 (1.62m) treatment (T₅). The maximum Canopy Volume (2.30 m³) were observed in treatment T₁ Mpuat S-1 followed by (2.10m) was noted in T₁₀ - RCGH-11 tree spread E-W and N-S (1.96 m and 2.01m), were observed with the treatments T₁ – Mpuat S-1, (Table 1), The higher No of fruit and weight of fruit (2.10 and 205.20 g), were observed with the treatment T₇ – Allahabad Safeda, (Table 1). The maximum fruit length, fruit breadth highest was recorded Allahabad Safeda (8.02cm and 7.38cm) with the treatment T₇, maximum TSS were recorded Allahabad Safeda (10.91 ^oB) followed by SRD H-4 (9.62 ^oB). Here it is mention that the results related to vegetative and quality parameters on the basis of only 1 year data. The pooled yield data 5 years clearly indicated that fruit yield tree^-1 and yield ha^-1 (22.41 and 89.63 q.) have been registered with the treatment T₇ – Allahabad Safeda followed by 16.75 & 67.00 q were observed with the treatments T₃ – Arka Kiran. The benefit cost ratio was also found higher with the treatment T₇ – Allahabad Safeda 3.48 (hectare basis) showed better, are recommended performance of promising hybrids of guvava cv. Allahabad Safeda. Guava orchard to increase the productivity and quality of fruits. as compared to other treatments in orchards of guava.
