Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of biofertilizers and biostimulants on quality of mango cv. kesar was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during the year 2022-23 and 2023-24. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with factorial concept (FCRD), which included sixteen treatment combinations comprising two factors like biofertilizers as drenching viz., D1: Bio NPK consortium, D2: VAM, D3: Bio NPK consortium + VAM, D4: Control (Drenching with water) and biostimulants as foliar spray viz., S1: Seaweed extract (0.4%), S2: Novel Plus Organic Liquid Nutrients (3%), S3: Panchagavya (3%) and S4: Control (Water spraying). Biofertilizers were applied as drenching at the rate of 20 ml/tree after a week of fertilizer application. The plant biostimulants were sprayed at flower initiation and one month after first spray. The individual effects of biofertilizers and biostimulants treatment as well as their interactions on quality of mango cv. Kesar were recorded. Drenching of Bio NPK consortium + VAM resulted in the maximum TSS (22.37 ºBrix), reducing sugars (5.58%), non-reducing sugars (10.00%), total sugars (15.58%), ascorbic acid (24.28 mg 100 g-1 pulp) and minimum acidity (0.28%). While, foliar application of Novel plus organic liquid nutrients @ 3% recorded the maximum TSS (21.90 ºBrix), reducing sugars (5.39%), non-reducing sugars (9.86%), total sugars (15.26%), ascorbic acid (22.84 mg 100 g-1 pulp) and minimum acidity (0.30%). Interaction effect between biofertilizers and biostimulants was found significant for TSS (23.97 ºBrix), reducing sugars (6.52%), non-reducing sugars (11.49%), total sugars (18.02%), ascorbic acid (25.66 mg 100 g-1 pulp), acidity (0.20%) in mango cv. Kesar.
