2. IN FLUENCE OF POSI TIONS OF BEARING AND METHODS OF HARVESTING ON THE QUALITY OF FRUITSA RE VIEWPriyamvada Pandey*, Rajesh Kumar, Ayushi Tamta and D.S.Mishra

Department of Horticulture,G.B.P.U.A. & Tech., Pantnagar *Email: [email protected]

ABSTRACT:India is blessed with var ied climatic con ditions and is thus the home of varioustypes of fruits. But most of the fruits are highly perishable and show a great decline in quality aswell as storage life soon after har vest. This decline is further ag gravated if harvesting is not doneat the right time and by the correct method. More over position of bearing also plays a key role inthe quality of fruit. Fruit position on tree is found to influ ence the fruit size, ma turity, skin col our,flesh colour, mineral com posi tion, TSS, acidity and fruit yield. Har vesting fruits with and withoutpedicel in addition to affecting the storage life of fruits, also af fects sugar con tent, acidity, fruitfirmness and col our retention. This re view summarises effects of positions of bear ing andmeth ods of har vesting on the over all quality of fruits.

ABSTRACT: The exper iment was conducted at NRC for Grapes, Pune dur ing year2007-08.Four commercially cultivated grape varieties viz. Thompson Seedless, Tas-A-Ganesh,Flame Seed less and Sharad Seedless were an alyzed for dry matter con tent during harvest ingstage of the crop. Dry matter par titioning in differ ent parts of vines were observed. Highlysignificant differences were observed among varieties, various vine parts and theircombinations. Among the varieties, maximum dry matter content was recorded in SharadSeedless (42.87%) followed by Tas-A-Ganesh (42.29%) and among the various parts of thevine, it was found maximum in cordon (54.84%) followed by trunk (54.39%). When dry mat tercontent was measured in par ticular va ri ety in specific part of the vine, maximum dry matter wasrecorded in the trunk of Sharad Seedless va riety. Roots are the source of nutri ent absorp tion bythe vine. Root health found to be pos itively correlated with the health of the plant andproductiv ity. In the present experi ment, highest dry mat ter con tent of the roots was ob served inthe Sharad Seedless with the mean value of 47.72%. Also the dry mat ter con tent of theharvestable organ (bunches) was found maximum in Sharad Seedless (25.73%) as compared toother variety.

Selection-1. All the intercropping sys tems showed signif icant en hancement in the height of thetree varying from 1.25 to 3.40 over the sole tree. Among the different intercrops, better growth ofthe guava tree was observed where mother rhizome turmeric was grown as intercrop followed byprimary, sec ondary and tertiary fingers treatments. Plant height and number of tillers per plantwere enhanced in mother rhi zome of turmeric (96.68 cm and 4.03, respectively) un der shade ofguava plant which re sults max imum survival per cent age (98.45%) and its growth and

performance was better than other planting materials. The highest num ber of fingers per plant(13.64), finger length (9.06), finger weight (36.14) and yield (389.47g/plant and 235.41q/ha) wererecorded when turmeric were grown under ju ve nile guava tree which was sig nificantly higherthan all other planting materials. All the turmeric planting ma teri als grown under shade of juvenileguava orchards were found most desirable in terms of vegetative growth, yield, gross return, netreturn and benefit cost ra tio than sole crop.

ABSTRACT: The ex periment on opti mi zation of plant density inside a green house for growingcarnation is a very im portant area for present day pro duction and pro ductiv ity. The results of thestudy on op timi za tion of planting density in carnation led to the infer ence that plant ing density intreatment T4 (check) (15 X 15 cm with 36 plants/m

2) proved better in terms of flower qual ity

param eters namely early flower bud appearance, bud open ing, lon gest duration of flow ering,

chlo rophyll con tent and more num ber of flowers per plant due to con genial microcli mate betweenthe plants for the plant growth and flow ering. Though the percentage of A grade quality flowerswere higher in treatment T3(20 X 20 cm with 20 plants per m

2), the number of plants and flower

yield per sq. m. in this treatment was very less. Hence, treatment T4(check) with 15 X 15 cmspacing may con vincingly be fol lowed for ob tain ing more num ber of flowers per plant and perunit area and value in terms of eco nomic success of the crop.
