Effect of Green Manures, Biofertilizers and Vermicompost on Quality Parameters of Sapota [Manilkara achras (Mill.) Fosberg] cv. Kalipatti

Field experiment has been performed at Anand Agricultural University in Anand, Gujarat over the years 2019-20 and 2020-21, with ten treatments having components of green manures like sunhemp, dhaincha and cowpea, vermicompost, biofertilizer and microbial consortium.Organic fertilizers application has the potential to increase the biomass and productivity of a wide range of crops when used properly.Treatment 75% RDN from green manure of sun hemp + microbial consortium (AMBC I) 105 ml + 10 ml Anubhav Bio NPK consortium per tree gave the best results in terms of quality parameters compared to other treatments having a combination of green manure with dhaincha, cowpea, vermicompost and biofertilizers.The treatment also resulted in the highest total soluble solid (23.49°Brix), reducing sugar content (6.08%), non-reducing sugar content (11.88%), total sugar content (17.96%), ascorbic acid content (21.48 mg/100g pulp) and shelf life (9.09days) of the fruits in both years.Acidity content was also lowest (0.182%).
