Abstract
A field experiment entitled “Effects of various micronutrient levels on the biochemical and organoleptic attributes of guava cv. 27” was carried out at Agrotechnology Park, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, College of Agriculture, Gwalior (M.P.) during 2016-2017. The experiment was consisting of 9 treatments having two levels of each Borax (0.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent) and Zinc sulphate (0, 0.4 and 0.6 per cent). The experiment was laid out in Factorial randomized block design with three replications. Among different doses of foliar spray of nutrients, borax @ 0.4 per cent and zinc sulphate @ 0.6 per cent were found significantly superior over control with respect bio chemical parameters and organoleptic attributes of guava.
