Abstract
Effect of foliar application of calcium chloride on yield and quality of apple varieties
Highlights
The data were recorded on fruit drop (%), fruit diameter, fruit weight (g), yield tree-1, yield ha-1, fruit firmness, percent weight loss, starch content, strife index and juice percentage
Results showed that maximum fruit diameter (6.79 cm), fruit weight (120.50 g), yield tree-1 (34.50 kg), yield ha-1 (9384.90 kg), fruit firmness (7.58 kg), starch content (6.33), strife index (0.04) and juice percentage (58.28) was noted in fruits treated with 1.0 gL-1 of CaCl2
The results regarding apple varieties indicated that Jonagored had the highest fruit diameter (7.17 cm), fruit weight (125.44 g), yield tree-1 (36.13 kg), yield ha-1 (9827.66 kg), strife index (0.07), and juice percentage (57.70), while maximum fruit firmness (7.51 kg), percent weight loss (7.32) was recorded in Junica variety

Fruit drop (%) =Fruit drop tree-1 kg / yield tree-1 kg x100 Fruit diameter (cm) The Vernier caliper was used to determine the fruit diameter of randomly selected five fruits from every treatment in each replication and average was calculated
