| Abstract/Description: | The study was designed to identify the most effective way of fertilizing Znfor improved productivity and quality of pomegranatecv.Bhagwa oncalcareous soil. Fertilization methods included foliar sprays of ZnSO4, Zn-EDTA, and amino acid chelated Zn; irrigation applied ZnSO4and Zn chelate(Zn-EDTA); soil application of ZnSO4(@12.5 and 25.0 g tree 1) and wereevaluated on full grown pomegranate orchard for 2 years. All the Zn treat-ments of foliar and irrigation-applied methods were effective in raising theleaf Zn concentration above the recommended adequate level (>15.98 mgkg 1). Higher number of hermaphrodite flowers was observed with foliarsprays of ZnSO4, amino acid chelated Zn, irrigation applied Zn-chelate, andsoil application of ZnSO4@25g Zn tree 1. Various Zn application methodsexcept irrigation-applied ZnSO4increased fruit yield by 4.33–23.63%. Someof the Zn treatments viz. foliar sprays of ZnSO4, amino acid chelated Znand irrigation-applied Zn-chelate caused substantial improvement in fruitquality attributes such as fruit size, aril and juice percent, biochemicalattributes like juice acidity (by 8.33–13.89%), anthocyanin, ascorbic acidconcentration, and enrichment of Zn in the edible part of the fruit.Interestingly, sprays of ZnSO4also enriched Fe, Mn, and Cu in the arils.While some of the Zn treatments viz. foliar spray of ZnSO4, irrigation-applied Zn-chelate and soil application of ZnSO4could reduce bacterialblight disease incidence by 19.29–25.97% and severity by 22.18–47.36%.Hence, foliar sprays of ZnSO4are recommended for enhancement of fruityield as well as quality in pomegranate. |
