Effects of foliar applied macro (NPK) and micro nutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and B) at different time on yield, quality and benefit: cost ratio of rainy and winter season guava were evaluated in north western Haryana, India. The two season’s data depicted that physico- chemical characters with respect to fruit set, fruit retention, fruit size, average fruit weight and yield were significantly increased with foliar application of macro and micro nutrients at vegetative, flowering and fruiting stage (T7). The shoot C: N ratio was also found highest with T7 foliar treatment which was followed by T5 in both the seasons. The T7 foliar spray resulted in maximum benefit: cost ratio in both the seasons. Proper fertilization strategies can help fruit growers to get good yield and quality fruits. Bangladesh J. Bot. 50(4): 1159-1164, 2021 (December)

The present research was carried out to evaluate response of Bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) to plant density and nitrogen fertilizer under field conditions. Plant density at four levels (20×50 cm, 30×50 cm, 20×100 cm and 30×100 cm) and nitrogen treatments at four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg·N·ha-1) were applied. Plant height, lateral stem number, leaf chlorophyll content, yield, and were assessed at immature and mature stages. The results showed that vegetative growth characteristics (plant height, lateral stem number and leaf dry matter) and reproductive factors (fruit volume and fruit weight) decreased with increasing plant density, but total yield (kg·ha-1) increased with increasing plant density. The highest and lowest total yields were obtained by plant density 20×50 cm and 30×100 cm respectively. Nitrogen fertilizer was significantly affected on plant height, lateral stem number and leaf chlorophyll content. It was observed that fertilization with 150 kg·N·ha-1 resulted to the highest fruit volume and plant yield. There were significant differences between fruit volume and fruit weight by interaction between plant density and nitrogen treatments.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of foundation and leaf fertilization with micronutrients on fruit size and quality of pineapple cv. Vitória under the environmental conditions of the Baixo Acaraú irrigated perimeter in Northern Ceará State, Brazil, under two covers (bagana and black plastic) of the sandy soil of low fertility. The experimental design was a randomized split blocks one with four levels of soil dressing and four levels of foliar fertilization, with five replications. Micronutrient soil dressing was studied as FTE-12 at doses of 0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1. The four levels of foliar fertilization were: LF0 (without fertilizer), LF 1 (15 leaf fertilization, using the amount of 1158.75 g Fe ha-1, 844.65 g Mn ha-1, 391.5 g ha-1 Zn, 322.65 g ha-1 Cu and 216 g ha-1 B), LF2 (15 leaf fertilization, using twice the quantities of level LF1) and LF3 (15 leaf fertilization, using three times the amount of level LF1). At 13 months after planting the micropropagated plantlets was carried out the floral induction treatment and five months later the fruit harvest determining the following variables: fruit weight and median diameter, soluble solids content (SS) and titratable acidity (TA). Both fruit weight and diameter increased with increasing doses of micronutrients applied to the soil and to the leaves, of plants grown both on bagana soil cover and plastic mulch. On the other hand fruit pulp quality was little affected by the treatments studied. There were a small increase of SS contents for plants grown on bagana soil cover and a small decrease of titratable acidity for those grown on plastic mulch, in both cases just in response to micronutrient foliar application.

The obstacle faced when cultivating honey pumpkins (Cucurbita moschata Durchesne) is that the fruit size is not uniform and even tends to get smaller so that the results are not satisfactory and are not accepted in the market. This study aims to examine the effect of the combined application of the MOL of bamboo concentration with fruit thinning on the growth and production of honey pumpkins, which was carried out from May to September 2020 in PT. Pupuk Sriwijaya land, H. Agus Salim street No. 1 Handil Jaya Village, Jelutung District, Jambi. This study used a factorial randomized block design with 2 factors, the first factor being the provision of MOL of bamboo which consisted of 4 levels of concentration, namely; without presenting the MOL of bamboo (b0), MOL of bamboo 20 ml L-1 (b1), 40 ml L-1 (b2), and 60 ml L-1 (b3). The second factor is fruit thinning, consisting of 3 levels, namely; without fruit thinning (p0), fruit thinning to 4 pieces (p1), and fruit thinning to 6 pieces (p2) with 3 replications. The results showed that the combination of concentration MOL of bamboo of 40 ml L-1 and fruit thinning to 4 pieces resulted in higher plant growth yields and greater fruit weight. This study showed that these two factors were involved in the growth and yield of honey pumpkins.

Experiments were carried out at the research field of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur during kharif seasons of 2010 and 2011 to find out the requirement of N, P, K, and S application for obtaining higher yield of bitter gourd (var. BARI Karola-1). There were 14 treatment combinations comprising four levels each of N (0, 90, 20,150 kg/ha), P (0, 20, 40, 60 kg/ha), K (0, 40, 80, 120 kg/ha), and S (0, 20, 30, 40 kg/ha). A blanket dose of 2 kg B, 4 kg Zn, and 5 ton cowdung/ha was used. The maximum fruits/plant, fruit size, and single fruit weight and yield of bitter gourd was achieved from the treatment N120 P40 K80 S30 kg/ha and the lowest from the control treatment. The yield benefit for the best treatment over the control was 208% in 2010 and 137% in 2011. Response to N and P was more pronounced in comparison to K and S. The yield increased linearly with increasing rates of N up to 120 kg/ha, P up to 40 kg/ha, K up to 80 kg/ha, and S up to 30 kg/ha and thereafter decreased. The highest gross margin (Tk. 486867/ha) and marginal rate of return (8083%) was also obtained from the same treatment. Overall results reveal that application of N120 P40 K80 S30 kg/ha along with a blanket dose of 2 kg B, 4 kg Zn and 5 ton cowdung/ha appears to be the best treatment for maximizing the yield of bitter gourd in Grey Terrace Soil (AEZ-28) of Joydebpur.
