Studies on the Effect of Foliar Application of Micronutrients and Ga₃ on Yield and Reproductive Parameters of Winter Season Guava

The present investigation entitled “Studies on the effect of foliar application of micronutrient and GA₃ on reproductive parameters and fruit yield of winter season guava “ was carried out in the Fruit Research Farm, Horticulture Unit, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during the year 2010–2011. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with eleven treatments. A perusal of data revealed that maximum fruit set and maximum fruit drop was found in treatment T₇ (GA_3--50 ppm) and T₁₁ (control) respectively. Maximum fruit retention and minimum fruit drop was found in T₄ (Borax-0.4%) while minimum results was recorded in under T₁₁ control (no treatment isgiven) respectively. Maximum yield was recorded in Treatment T₄ (Borax-0.4%) while minimum was under control.
