Present study was carried to understand a relation between pruning intensity in addition to potash spray on the biochemical characteristics of the peach fruits. We used eight years old trees of peach cultivar Shan-e-Punjab in Randomized Block Design with 3replications at CCS Haryana Agricultural Faculty, Research Farm at Kaul, Haryana, India. We considered 3 pruning intensities and 3pH levels of foliar potassium spray. Severe pruning, i.e., 60 % pruning intensity was determined significantly more effective concerning biochemical parameters. Whereas, total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid, as well as sugars have been found greater with 1.5 % concentration of K2SO4. Also, the leaf nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) content improved with the increasing intensity of pruning and increasing the potash application. Likewise, maximum leaf N and K were present in 60 % pruning intensity and 1.5 % spray of K2SO4, whereas, phosphorus concentration decreased with the increasing severity of pruning and foliar spraying of potash. The interaction of pruning intensity in addition to potash concentration was found non-significant in most of the parameters. Overall, this study provides content about the effect of pruning intensity in addition to potash application on biochemical framework of peach.
