Effect of Seasons on Physiological Changes in Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Allahabad Safeda Grown under Allahabad Conditions

S A Haji, Shazia Hayat, Shafat Ahmad Banday

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of climate on physico-chemical constituents of Allahabad Safeda. The investigation revealed that the fruits during winter season showed significantly higher fruit size, weight, volume and specific gravity as compared to the rainy season fruits. The chemical constituents also varied significantly under the influence of season. Fruits from winter season crops were having higher TSS, reducing sugar, total sugars, titrable acidity and Ascorbic acid content; however non-reducing sugars were found higher in rainy season crop. Thus, winter season crop should be preferred.
