Opis

Pear is truly wondrous hardy fruit, widely grown in temperate regions of the world with varied size, shape, texture and flavours. Among temperate fruits, pear is next only to apple in importance, acreage and production with high degree of adaptability under varied climatic conditions. In India pear is predominantly grown in Kashmir valley and cooler areas in the hills of Himachal Pradesh and Uttrakhand. The present experiment entitled "Bio-intensive nutrient management in high density pear (Pyrus communis L.) cv. Carmen" was carried out during 2014-2016 in experimental field of SKUAST-K on three year old pear plants cv. Carmen grafted on rootstock Quince C planted at a distance of 3 x 3 m. Significant differences were observed with application of different treatments. Parameters like fruit length, fruit breadth, fruit weight, fruit volume, yield, incremental extension growth, incremental plant spread, incremental plant volume incremental plant height, titratable acidity and available soil nitrogen, total fruit nitrogen and total leaf nitrogen showed highest values with T1:(N + P + K) as recommended.
