Abstract
The present experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. Prayagraj during the session 2023 - 2024. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications, and the study consists of ten treatment combinations including control by using different Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth yield and quality of guava under meadow orcharding. The best treatment was T9 (50% RDF + 10 Kg FYM + Azotobacter + VAM) &T8 (50% RDF + 10 Kg FYM + VAM) which shows highest values in all the parameters viz., fruit weight (145.98 g), fruit diameter (8.00 cm), number fruit/tree (41.81), fruit yield/tree (6.02 kg), yield (t/ha) (30.09). All the treatments were significantly superior in their fruit yield and fruit growth of guava over control (T0) and (T9).
