| Abstract | A field experiment entitled ‘Studies on improving the productivity and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Super Bhagwa through organic source of nutrients’ was carried out at Department of Fruit Science, Sector 70, University of Horticultural Sciences, Udyanagiri, Bagalkot during 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in a complete randomized block design with seven different source of nutrients. Among the different nutrient sources, 100 per cent recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through vermicompost was found to be superior over others with respect to growth parameters. Yield parameters viz., number of productive flowers (85.15/plant), fruit set (67.16 %), number of fruits (48.37/plant) and fruit yield (13.43 128 kg/plant and 20.73 t/ha) were found to be highest with the application of 100 per cent RDN through poultry manure whereas fruit weight (336.23 g/fruit), fruit length (8.7 cm) and fruit diameter (9.01 cm), aril weight (240.72 g/fruit), rind weight (95.00 g/fruit) and juice content (144.85 ml/fruit) were found to be highest in 100 per cent RDN through neem cake followed by 100 per cent RDN through sunhemp. Among the qualitative characters, the higher total soluble solids (15.60 ºBrix), vitamin-C (18.33 mg/100 g) content and lower titratable acidity (0.36 %) were recorded with application of 100 per cent RDN through vermicompost whereas, 100 per cent RDN through poultry manure recorded maximum shelf life (27.10 days). Application of 100 per cent RDN through FYM recorded improvement in soil pH (7.20) and highest soil available P (43.67 kg/ha), while 100 per cent RDN through poultry manure recorded the highest soil OC (0.71 %) and soil available K (281.33 kg/ha), 100 per cent RDN through neem cake recorded highest EC (0.19 dS/m) and 100 per cent RDN through sunhemp recorded highest soil available N (239.33 kg/ha). From the present investigation, it was found that application of 100 per cent RDN through poultry manure increased yield of pomegranate while for growth and quality improvement 100 per cent RDN through vermicompost was found better. |
