Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during 2012-13 and 2013-14 at experimental farm of AICRP on Fruits, Dr. PDKV, Akola to evaluate the effect of micro-irrigation and fertigation on fruit weight, fruit length, fruit juice content and total soluble solids of acid lime. The pooled data revealed that significantly higher fruit weight was observed in the treatment combination of I1F1 (34.17 g) which was statistically at par with the treatment combinations of I1F2 (34.00 g), I2F1 (33.54 g) and I2F2 (32.97 g). In interaction of the irrigation and fertigation levels, the juice content was ranged from 49.47 (I1F1) to 40.47 per cent (I3F3) and 49.62 (I1F1) to 44.48 per cent (I3F3) in 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively. The treatment combination I2F1 had recorded significantly the higher TSS (7.63° Brix) followed by the treatment combination I3F1 (7.47° Brix) which was at par with each other.
