Author(s): BH Nadkarni, MN Bhalekar and AG Durgude
Abstract: The experiment was conducted on 4 year old pomegranate orchard in Ambia bahar at Instructional Cum Research Orchard, Arid Zone Fruit project, Department of Horticulture, MPKV., Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar during 2015-16 (Trial 1) and 2016-17 (Trial 2). The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design. Treatments were replicated in three times. Observations on flowering and yield parameters were recorded. There were eight treatments in which RDF (625:250:250 NPK g/plant) was split in different schedules. Treatment T2 i.e. scheduling of nutrient viz., 50% N, 40% P2O5 and 25% K2O as a basal application, 30% N, 25 % P2O5 and 15 % K2O at fruit set, 20% N, 25 % P2O5 and 30 % K2O at fruit development stage, 10 % P2O5 and 30 % K2O before harvest recorded significantly minimum male flowers (7.54 %), maximum female flowers (92.46%), maximum fruit set (32.20 %), maximum fruit retention (88.86%), maximum fruits per plant (85.60) and yield (26.78 kg/plant).
