Response of Different Organics Spray on Yield and Biochemical Characteristics of Sapota Fruits

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different organic spray on yield and bio-chemical attributes of sapota [Manilkara achras (Mill.) Fosberg] cv. Kalipatti. Significant variation was noticed among the different treatments for all the characters studied. Result revealed highest physical and yield parameters like fruit weight (83.60g), fruit length (6.15cm), fruit diameter (5.78cm), number of marketable fruits (2553), marketable fruit weight (170.30kg/tree), min. number of damage of fruits (54.25), min. damage fruit weight (4.0 kg), total fruit yield (174.30 kg/tree) recorded in T₉ Novel Organic Liquid Fertilizer 5% (5 spray) also recorded minimum PLW% (2^nd, 4^th and ripening stage (3.34%, 5.09%, 8.09% respectively), acidity (0.121%), spoilage (6.25%), while maximum fruit firmness (13.81 kg cm^-2), TSS (23.84⁰ Brix), ascorbic acid (10.80 mg 100 g^-1), reducing sugar (11.28 %), total sugar (19.47 %) and total phenol (133.87 mg 100 g^-1).
