Career Point University is proud to announce that Mr. Arjun Nagar, a dedicated student of the M.Sc. Horticulture program from the School of Agricultural Sciences, has successfully published his original research paper in the prestigious International Journal of Plant and Soil Science (NAAS Rating: 5.07).
The paper, titled “Effect of Nano Nitrogen and Chelated Zinc Foliar Spray on Growth and Yield Attributes of Guava (Psidium guajava L.)”, presents a scientific study on improving guava productivity through advanced nutrient management strategies.
This achievement reflects both the academic rigor of the student and the growing research ecosystem fostered at CPU.
About the Research
The research was conducted during the 2024–2025 season at the experimental farm of Career Point University, Kota. Through the use of foliar application techniques involving nano-nitrogen and chelated zinc, the study revealed significant improvements in:
- Plant height and spread
- Number of flowers per shoot
- Fruit set percentage
- Reduced fruit drop
The combined application of Nano-N @ 6.0 ml/lit and Chelated Zinc @ 0.4% showed the best performance across all growth and yield attributes, indicating a promising, sustainable approach to boost guava cultivation under field conditions.
