EFFECT OF SEASONS ON THE VEGETATIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE ATTRIBUTES OF GUAVA cv. KOHIR SAFEDA

摘要

Study was undertaken to see the effect of seasons on the vegetative and reproductive attributes of guava cv. Kohir Safeda during the year 1997-98 and 1998-99. In different cropping seasons, maximum extension growth was recorded in spring season followed by rainy and winter season. Maximum number of flowers emerged and dropped in summer season flowering followed by rainy and autumn flowering, while the maximum percentage of fruit set was observed in autumn season flowering. Highest yield per plant was obtained in rainy season followed by winter and spring season, while maximum T.S.S., total sugar, acidity and vitamin C content were found in winter season cropping followed by spring and rainy season.
