Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of calcium sprays on yield and quality of litchi cv. Dehradun under regulated irrigation. Trees were subjected to regulated irrigations at 3, 6, 9 and 12 days intervals and were sprayed with CaCl2 @ 1, 1.5 and 2% concentration and compared with irrigation at 3 days interval without any CaCl2 spray. Fruit set (38.67%), fruit volume (18.71 cm3), fruit firmness (3.29 kg/cm2) and fruit yield (13.27 qts/acre) were found to be maximum in trees irrigated at 6 days intervals and sprayed with 2% CaCl2 (T4) with highest benefit: cost ratio (1.55).
