ABSTRACT

It was found that the maximum length of the branches were observed in unpruned trees. Maximum number of branches (110.00) number of leaves per branch (37.67), number of cluster per plant, (85.00) number of fruits per cluster (58.33), weight of cluster per plant 42.36 g and total yield per plant (3.64kg), was observed in the pruning level of 90 cm above the ground level, while the minimum, in all the above mentioned parameters, were found in un-pruned trees.
