Abstract: The experimentation entitled, “Studies on different grades and times of application of micronutrient mixture on growth yield and quality of Custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) Cv. Balanagar†was carried out on the field of Custard apple Research Station, Ambejogai, Dist.-Beed, during mrig bahar in 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with two factors i.e. factor A- micronutrient mixture grade (G) and factor B- time of application (T). These factors consist of four and three levels respectively, twelve treatment combinations with three replications. Among the different treatment combination the treatment G4T1 (Grade-4 chelated by foliar application monthly) noted the significant effect in respect to, physico-chemical parameters, recorded maximum in respect to length of fruit (8.50 cm), breadth of fruit (8.50 cm), number of seeds/fruit (38.67), weight of seeds (24.58 g), weight of pulp (89.22 g), weight of peel (109.13 g), pulp (40.08%), peel (49.01%), pulp to peel ratio (0.82), TSS (24.13%), ascorbic acid (22.43%), reducing sugar of fruit (13.55%), non-reducing sugar (3.08%) and total reducing sugar (16.63%) with reduction in acidity (0.35%).
