Effect of integrated bioformulations and canopy management practices on reproductive and quality of Pomegranate

Abstract

A field experiment entitled Effect of integrated bioformulations and canopy management practices on growth, yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa was conducted at the Instructional Farm (Horticulture), Career Point University, Kota 
during 2024-2025. Among the different training systems studied, three stem training system (S2) recorded maximum number of flowers per plant, minimum days to flowers initiation, earliest maturity, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit volume, rind weight, rind thickness, rag weight, number of arils/ fruit, number of arils/ 100, 100 arils weight, total aril weight (g) and 100 seeds weight. Regarding the bioformulation treatments, B8 [Amrithpani (4%) + Panchagavya (5%) + Jeevamruth (6%) + P. fluorescens (25 g/ plant)] exhibited maximum  number of flowers per plant, minimum days to flowers initiation, earliest maturity, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit volume, rind weight, rind thickness, rag weight, number of arils/ fruit, number of arils/ 100, 100 arils weight, total aril weight (g) and 100 seeds weight.
