Influence of pruning on fruits production of jujube Ziziphus mauritiana Lam

Abstract

This study was conducted at Horticultural Research Institute, at the Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam, during the period of (March 2014) the influence of pruning on fruits production of jujube. The experiment was the laid out in (RCBD) with the four replications. Hence there were total 20 plants. Four treatments were too applied T1 (pruning on 20 th May) T2 (pruning on 25 th May) T3 (pruning on 15 th June) T4 (pruning on 25 th June) and the maximum number of branch per tree (25 days to flowering) and (65 days blooming on 15 th August to 25 th on September) and the fruit weight (31.45 g) the maximum fruit size (30.50 mm2) highest sugar (6.22%) and the maximum vitamin-C contents on (130.50) Pruning in ber is required right from the year of planting. During the pre-bearing stage, it is done to build strong framework to bear the load and fruits. Pruning in Pakistan is to specific geographical location, in subtropical regions. It is done (15 th May) is most suitable pruning time to maximum fruits yield and quality in ber. The depending upon latitude while in tropical regions, depending upon the possibility of winter rainfall. In Northern Sindh like in Hyderabad, Khairpure Lahore, Faisalabad, and Bahawalpur division. It should be done before the end of May on Pruning and intensity levels of enhance the vegetative growth and fruit quality of ber.

A Review on Different Horticultural Practices for Quality Improvement in the Fruit Crops

“…Adhikari et al, 2015 has shown that the 20cm pruning plant at the beginning of May month may help minimise the rainy season and improve yield and output in the winter season crop. Susanto et al, (2019) performed Pruning by leaving four pairs of leaves tended to have more No of fruit and flower than by leaving eight pairs of leaves in "crystal" variety of guava (Gola et al, 2018). The fruit weight, fruits size, Highest, Sugar and the vitamin C contents was the obtained maximum trees prune at the (15th May) is most suitable pruning time to maximum fruits yield and quality in ber.…”
