Infuence of pollen source, complimentary pollination and micro-nutrients on productivity of kiwifruit cv. Hayward
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The present study was carried out on eleven year old vines of Hayward (female cultivar) and Tomuri and Matua (male cultivars) at Zangam orchard of Department of Horticulture (J&K) trained on T bar trellis system. The fruit set and yield characteristics of Hayward were signifcantly infuenced by the pollen source. Among the various treatment combinations irrespective of the source of pollen, hand pollination at 90% bloom + spray of 0.1% borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O) and 0.4% ZnSO4 enhanced both fruit set and yield characteristics. Tomuri cultivar proved to be a good pollen source for desired fruit characteristic, and hand pollination supplemented with boron and zinc exhibited benefcial effects on all the afore-mentioned parameters of pistillate cv. Hayward.
