Effect of plant densities and nitrogen on the yield and quality of kew pineapple

Abstract

Reduction in individual fruit size was resulted with increased plant density in Kew pineapple. However, the estimated yields indicated a reverse pattern owing to the increased number of plants under high density systems. Increased nitrogen levels favourably influenced the fruit measurements and estimated yields. The quality attributes were not influenced by plant densities whereas, nitrogen levels showed significant effects on quality parameters also.
