ABSTRACT Increasing realization of the ill effects long sustained, exclusive use chemical fertilizers, and consistent growing demand from consumers for fruit quality, coupled with unsustainable productivity citrus, have fostered experimentation some alternative cultural practices. Organic culture is claimed to be most benign alternative. Use organic materials such as farmyard manure, cakes plant origin, vermicompost, microbial bio-fertilizers on one hand, exploiting synergism between...
Abstract High density planting system i.e. accommodating a higher number of plants than routine in given area is an innovative agro-technology to increase yield and thereby early net returns. Due conventional wide spacing plantation Nagpur mandarin ( Citrus reticulata Blanco), the land remains unutilized as plant canopy gradually increases over years. In present study, Blanco) budded on Rangpur lime rootstock was evaluated under six different spacings. It observed that organic carbon...

Abstract This research aims to investigate the potential of utilizing pomegranate peel powder (PPP) as a natural preservative in muffin preparation. Pomegranate is rich source bioactive compounds, including phenolics, flavonoids, and tannins, which possess high antioxidant antimicrobial properties. The In-Vitro antifungal activity (8% PPP), potassium sorbate (0.1% PS) calcium propionate (0.5% CP) was assessed against Penicillium sp. Aspergillus using poison food technique. PPP showed...
BACKGROUND Pomegranate peel is a by-product from the pomegranate processing industries and rich source of dietary fibers bioactive compounds. It has good antioxidant antimicrobial properties. In present study, effects substitution refined wheat flour with powder (PPP) at rate 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% 10% on physico-chemical sensorial properties as well oxidative microbial stability muffins were investigated. RESULTS A significant reduction in specific volume (1.99 to 1.57 cm3 g−1), weight loss (11.73...
Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae (Xap) causes bacterial blight disease in pomegranates, often leading to 60–80% economic loss. In absence of a suitable Xap-resistant variety, the near-monoculture susceptible Bhagwa, has aggravated problem further. recent times, Xap spread different geographical regions, indicating wide adaptability pathogen. Moreover, lower sensitivity towards streptocycline containing streptomycin sulphate and tetracycline (9:1) under field conditions is frequently...
Fungal pathogens are a major constraint affecting the quality of pomegranate production around world. Among them, Alternaria and Colletotrichum species cause leaf spot, fruit spot or heart rot (black rot), (anthracnose) calyx end rot, respectively. Accurate identification disease-causing fungal is essential for developing suitable management practices. Therefore, characterization isolates representing different geographical regions, predominantly Maharashtra-the Indian hub export-was carried...
Abstract The effect of addition whey protein isolate (WPI; 0%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%) carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC; 0.25%, 0.5% 0.75%) was studied for its foaming properties stability in pomegranate juice (PJ). High‐quality powders can be produced from fruit juices heat‐sensitive food items using foam mat drying (FMD). PJ with 10% WPI, a agent, 0.25% CMC, stabilizer had high expansion (FE) (455.28%) low density (FD) (0.2030 g/cc) drainage volume (FDV) (20.10 mL). subjected to different...
In the arid ecosystem water supply is limited and it imperative to adopt proper irrigation schedules harvest more crop per drop of water.The main objective study was investigate impact frequencies on performance pomegranate grown under light textured soils semi-arid regions.The carried out in newly planted orchard soils.The treatments consisted application every day cumulative at 1, 2, 3, 4 5 interval.Leaf samples were analysed for macro-and micronutrient contents.Leaf temperature...
Pomegranate orchards grown under hot, semi-arid to arid tropical climate were surveyed diagnose nutrient constraints through soil and leaf analysis. A total 347 pomegranate covering an area about 60,000 ha in major growing areas of Maharashtra, Karnataka Andhra Pradesh states during 2007 2013. Physico-chemical analysis the samples revealed that most cultivation is on shallow light textured soils having pH (< 8.9), EC 1.86dS/m) CaCO<sub>3</sub> 10% majority orchards) which...
Root distribution pattern forms the crux for optimum utilization irrigation, fertilizers and other inputs. Therefore, root in terms of weight activity (i.e. length) pomegranate cv. Bhagwa was studies three different soil types on four-year-old trees pomegranate. Roots were collected from six radial distances (0–30, 30–45, 45–60, 60–75, 75–90 90 cm above) seven depths (0–15, 15–30, above cm). It observed that total quantity feeder roots (diameter up to 5 mm) under shallow, medium deep 992.7,...
In March 2022, cankers and lesions appeared on the branches of 2-3-year-old pomegranate plants grown in four orchards Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, India. The disease incidence ranged from 5-15%. Field symptoms such as dark brown one side branches, cracked lesions, vascular tissue discoloration drooping were noticed. To identify causative agent, 2 diseased branch samples, showing typical collected each orchard 25-30 km apart. samples washed with distilled water small sections excised both...
