Abstract

The present experiment was carried out at College of Agriculture, Gwalior (M.P.) to found effect of spray of borax on fruits of guava. Three different concentration of borax viz., B0 (control), B1 (0.2%) and B2 (0.4) were sprayed on guava trees and various growth and yield parameters were recorded. The data pertaining to various parameters revealed that spray of borax @ 0.4% was found effective for number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per tree, yield per hectare, polar diameter, radial diameter, pulp weight and spray of borax @ 0.2% was effective for length of tertiary shoots and diameter of shoots. The effect of boron on seed weight was recorded non-significant.
