The treatments were: T1 (Trimming of growing tip of the primary vine at 8th node stage), T2 (Trimming of growing tip of the primary vine at 10th node stage), T3 (Trimming of growing tip of the primary vine at 12th node stage), T4(Trimming of growing tip of the secondary vine at 6th node stage), T5(Trimming of growing tip of the secondary vine at 8th node stage), T6 (Removal of all tertiary vines), T7 (Retention of two tertiary vines) and T8(control without pruning). T3 further recorded the minimum days to appearance of first male (49.17 days), female (58.15 days) flowers, fruit set to harvest duration (51.43 days) and crop duration (110.55 days) while T8 recorded the maximum days. Significant variation was observed in the yield parameters where T3 recorded the maximum number of fruits (6.27),fruit weight (2.47 kg), fruit yield per plant (15.47 kg) and yield per hectare (27.88 t/ha). Fruit characters such as fruit length, fruit diameter and number of seeds revealed no significant differences among the different treatments but with respect to quality parameters pruning revealed significant differences in terms of vitamin A and ascorbic acid content. The experiment thus concluded that the treatment T3 (Trimming of growing tip of the primary vine at 12th node stage) produced the highest yield with higher B: C ratio of 2.52 and it can be recommended to the farmers of Assam in order to maximize the production and productivity of pumpkin.","PeriodicalId":14186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":"23 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141684758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other soil properties viz. soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic carbon (SOC) content and equivalent calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content at the farm were also analysed to depict the soil chemical environment, controlling micronutrient availability. Plant available micronutrient contents within farm soils had very high data variability (coefficient of variation >30%). Soil available micronutrients content were negatively correlated with soil pH and positively correlated with SOC content. As per semivariogram analysis, plant available Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu content within farm soils had moderate spatial dependency as indicated by nugget to sill ratio between 0.30 and 0.50 and had spatial parameter ranges of 404, 801, 954 and 1529 m, respectively.
