An experiment was conducted with varying intensities of pruning, bio-enhancers, and biofertilizers. Significant improvements were observed across all yield, physical, and chemical traits in the integrated treatments, when data were pooled for both years, T9-Retention of 20 cm + 30% Fruit Thinning + Panchgavya (3%) + Azotobacter (100 g/tree) consistently outperforming then others. In yield traits, T9 produced the highest number of fruits per panicle (5.37), number of fruits per tree (210.33) and fruit yield (5.12 tons/ha), whereas in physical and chemical traits T9 also resulted an increased fruit length (11.78 cm), fruit width (7.18 cm), fruit weight (244.18 g), fruit volume (237.87 cc), specific gravity (1.027 g/cm3), pulp weight (193.59 g), peel weight (19.51 g), stone weight (31.09 g), stone length (5.95 cm), stone width (3.06cm), stone thickness (1.40 cm), kernel length (3.28 cm), kernel width (1.76 cm), kernel thickness (1.06 cm), pulp: peel ratio (9.97), pulp: stone ratio (6.23), total soluble solids (20.20 ºBrix), total sugars (21.08%), titratable acidity (0.398%), sugar: acid ratio (53.03) and TSS: acid ratio (50.81).Abstract
