Yield and Fruit Quality of Kinnow Mandarin Influenced by Foliar Spray of Different Nutrients

Citrus (Citrus sinensis L.) is one of the world's most significant fruit crops, 3rd among subtropical fruits. Kinnow considered as trademark Pakistan’s citriculture industry, dominates major citrus growing areas country. Macro and micronutrients have capacity to regulate manipulate growth quality mandarin. The present study was initiated evaluate influence foliar sprays nutrients on yield For this purpose, nitrogen (1 1.5 %), iron (0.25 0.5 %) zinc were applied at pre flowering stage. trial carried out using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). parameters such reducing sugars (%), acidity (pH), TSS (brix)0, total fruits per plant, set tree (Kg), length (cm), width (mm), number seeds peel thickness (mm) studied. collected data analyzed statistically by Using STATISTIX 8.1 According results, T6 (Nitrogen @1.5%) gave best results in terms sugars, TSS/Brix (0), (mm). minimum (pH) recorded T5 @1%) T4 (FeSO4 @0.5%). While maximum plant @0.5%) then T2 (ZnSO4 All treatments good result compare T0 (control / no treatment) while observation. From it concluded that spray Nitrogen @1.5% can be used for enhancing
