Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Plant height and plant spread of ber were maximum with 50% pruning intensity, but differences were non-significant.
- Intervention effect Number of sprouted shoots per branch and shoot length of ber varied significantly with pruning intensity.
- Intervention effect The maximum fruit yield of ber, 109.21 kg per plant, was achieved with 50% severity of pruning.
- Intervention effect The various yield attributing characters of ber were maximum with 50% pruning intensity.
- Intervention effect The highest pruning severity of 75% was judged supra-optimal, with a negative effect on increasing fruit yield.
- Intervention effect Total soluble solids and vitamin C in ber fruits were significantly higher with 50% pruning, followed by 25%, and lowest in the control.
- Intervention effect Fruit acidity of ber varied non-significantly with pruning.
- Intervention effect Reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars and total sugar of ber fruits were highest with 50% pruning and lowest in the control, but variations were non-significant.
- Recommendation Moderate pruning severity (50%) at the optimum pruning time (3rd week of May) is recommended for better yield and improved fruit quality.
