Abstract: The present investigation “Studies on the effect of foliar application of calcium, potassium and silicon on yield of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) Cv. Sathgudi” was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Konda Mallepally, Nalgonda district, Telangana. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with thirteen treatments and three replications. Based on the results, it was observed that foliar application of T4 - potassium silicate 4ml/L increased the fruit weight (244.93 g), length of the fruit (6.68 cm), volume of the fruit (145.00 ml), diameter of the fruit (6.95 cm) and higher fruit yield per tree (60.17 kg). However, peel thickness (mm) and fruit firmness (kg/cm2) were found non-significant.
