Abstract

The investigation on combined effect of budload, fertilizer and micronutrient application was carried out in model grapevine orchard of department of Horticulture at Kralbagh, Tehsil Lar, District Ganderbal (J&K) for two consecutive years. The experiment consisted of 27 treatment combinations formed by combining 3 levels of bud load (B1-96 buds/vine), (B2 -128 buds/ vine) and (B3-160 buds/vine), 3 levels of fertilizer doses F1=FYM (50 kg/vine) + recommended dose (NPK: 555, 227, 470g/vine), F2=FYM (50 kg/vine)+ 2 times recommended dose (NPK: 1110, 454, 940g/vine), F3=FYM (50 kg/vine)+ 3 times recommended dose (NPK: 1665, 681, 1410g/vine) and 3 levels of micronutrients viz. M1 (Solubor 0.1%), M2 (ZnSO4 0.4%) and M3 (Solubor 0.1% + ZnSO4 0.4%) replicated thrice with a double plot size in a completely randomized block design. The combination B2F2M1 (Bud load B2- 128 buds/vine, fertilizer dose F2 (FYM-50 kg/vine + 2 times recommended dose-NPK: 1110, 454, 940 g/vine) and micronutrient M1- (Solubor 0.1%) ) recorded the maximum percentage of fruitful shoots per vine, fruit yield, TSS/ acid ratio and benefit- cost ratio. However maximum bunch weight and juice percent was recorded in the combination B2F3M1 (Bud load B2- 128 buds/vine, fertilizer dose F3=FYM (50 kg/vine) + 3 times recommended dose (NPK: 1665, 681, 1410g/vine) and micronutrient M1- (Solubor 0.1%) It is concluded that combination B2F2M1 is most effective for influencing production, quality and benefit cost ratio of grape cv. Sahebi.
