Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during 2019 at Sanjay Nikunj Gov. Horticulture Nursery, Bindra Navagoan, Dhamtari district, CG to assess the effect of crop load on fruit yield and quality of litchi cv. China. Maximum fruit weight (23.65 g) and pulp weight (14.65g) at harvest was recorded with 5 fruit load. Fruit quality was generally high in which fruit load was least but fruit load did not affect soluble solid content or acidity. Fruit weight sharply increased from 35 to 65 DAA and pulp weight increased from 45 to 65 DAA and peel weight was static from 40 to 65 DAA and seed weight increased from 25 to 45 DAA and afterwards, it became static.
