Abstract

Under the study the application of RDF (100%) +VAM (500 g) + PSB (100g) + Azospirillium (100 g) + T. harzianum (100 g)/plant in T3 showed significantly best performance regarding plant height (3.78 m), canopy volume (58.83 m3), number of fruits (1732.88/plant), weight of fruit (53.1 I g), yield /plant (90.62 kg), yield/ha (25.35 t) juice content (50.52%),TSS (7.80 °Brix),Acidity (8.10%),Ascorbic acid (30.19 mg/I 00 ml of juice),TSS:Acid ratio (0.97), available soil N (235.02 kg/ha). P (17.88 kg/ha) and K (582.48 kg/ha), similarly leaf nutrient concentration in respect of N (2.45), P (0.20%) and K (1.30%). RDF 50% +VAM (500g) + PSB (100 g) + Azospirillium (100 g) +T, harzianurn (100g)/plant in T5 showed lowest performance in respect of plant height (3.49 m), canopy volume(46.34 m3), fruit number (118.97/plant) yield, (50.82 kg/plant), juice content (40.85%), leaf and soil NPK content as well as quality parameters.
