Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at KNK college of Horticulture, Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) during 2016-17 to study the effect of pruningintensity and spraying of plant growth regulators in relation to growth parameters, physical characters of fruit, yield and cost economics ofguava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Sardar. Different Pruning Intensity like P0 (control-unpruned), P1 (10 cm pruning), P2 (20 cm pruning) andP3 (30 cm pruning) and three growth regulators namely G0 (control-water spray), G1 (30 ppm 2, 4-D), G2 (600 ppm NAA) and G3 (600 ppmEthephon) were used contributed favorable effects on growth parameters, fruit characters, yield and B:C ratio. Result revealed that themaximum increment in plant height (0.46 m), canopy spread E-W (0.77 m), canopy spread N-S (0.65 m), fruit weight (175.97 g), fruit volume(220.20 ml), fruit length (7.13 cm), fruit diameter (8.04 cm), pulp thickness (1.64 cm) and minimum number of seeds per fruit (2...
