Opis

Pruning in ber is prerequisite for better yield and quality of fruits because it bear on current season growth. Therefore it is very essential as certain extent of pruning in particular cultivars. The maximum vegetative growth parameters (days taken for sprouting) number of shoots emerged shoot length, fruit on improvement and yield and quality attributing characters (fruits set fruit retention, quality and fruit viz., TSS, Ascorbic Acid etc., have been markedly promoted by the 30% pruning intensity than rest of the treatments. Fruit yield has been significantly enhanced (109.19kg) by the same treatment i.e., 30% pruning intensity. From over all experimental results, it is concluded that moderate severity of pruning (30% pruning on previous season growth) has been adjudged as optimum level of pruning in improving growth yield and quality of ber fruits cv. Banarsi Karaka yield. Highest severity of pruning (60%) has been found to increase the vegetative growth but yield and quality viz., has been found inversely proportional supra-optimal level of pruning to above findings.
