Mean
Means within a column, row and their interactions followed with the same letters are not significantly different
from each other according to Duncan’s multiple range test at 5% level.
6- Fruit Juice (%): A significant increase was
observed in fruit juice percentage by foliar
application of 5ppm NAA, 0.2% KNO3 or
60ppm as compared with control. Fruits from
trees receiving 5ppm NAA0.2% KNO3, 5ppm

showed significantly higher values for
percentage of fruit juice. The fruit juice
percentage in fruit, from trees receiving 5ppm
NAA 0.2% KNO3 60ppm Fe was 40.06%
which was significantly higher as compared to
other interactions and the control (table 6).
