Abstract:

The current investigation was carried out the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural Faculty, Campus Kaul, Hisar, during 2014-15. The experiment was performed on 8 years old forests in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The treatments include 4 pruning intensities [i.e., unpruned (control), light pruning (20 % removal of the shoot), moderate pruning (40 % removal of heavy pruning and shoot) (sixty % removal of shoot)] as well as 4 degrees of potassium foliar spray (i.e., 0.5 %, water spray, 1.0 % alongwith 1.5 %). Among all the pruning treatments, heavy pruning (60% pruning intensity) was found better in respect of tree growth parameters. In admiration of potash spray, 1.0 per dollar spray of K2SO4 was observed outstanding with respect to tree volume, tree spread, and tree height. Overall, the interaction of pruning intensity and also potash levels was observed non-significant in the majority of the variables.
