Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2018 at Horticulture Research Farm-I, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow on 6 year old guava plants, ‘Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on chemical characters of winter season guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv.L-49’, revealed that TSS (12.60 0Brix), Acidity (0.21%), Ascorbic acid content (209.69 mg/100 pulp), Total sugar (8.52%), Reducing sugar (5.01%) and Non-reducing sugar (3.51%) were maximized when foliar spray was done with Borax (0.1%) and Zinc Sulphate (0.2%) respectively.
