Abstract

Investigations on the effect of various nutrients on the fruit quality of lemon cv. Baramasi were carried out. Ten-year old plants of lemon were sprayed on 15th and 30th May. All the treatments exerted significant effect on the size, weight and juice content of the fruit, though the effect of potassium was more pronounced than CaCl2 and borax. Spray of these nutrients in varying concentrations influenced the TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid content of fruit and chlorophyll content of the peel of the lemon fruit.
