Influence of pruning intensity

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of pruning and foliar feeding of nutrients on growth, sugar content and yield of Phalsa (Grewia subinaequalis D.C.). The pruning level at 25 cm above ground level had significantly maximum shoot length (210.25 cm) and number of leaves per shoot (85.27). While, number of shoots per plant (30.60) was recorded highest with pruning at 50cm above ground level.

In the present study, highest TSS content was recorded in ferigation treatment F1 (14.32o Brix), pruning treament while it was not affected by pruning and crops load treatments. Among all fertigation treatments, the highest total sugar (9.24 %) was registered in fertigation treatment F1 while highest total sugar was recorded in pruning treatment P1 (8.82 %) and among crops load, C1 treatment recorded highest sugar content (9.14 %).
