摘要：Phalsa fruit (Grewia asiaticaL.) berries are one of the most effective source of bioactive food ingredients with multiple health benefits when consumed regularly. Phalsafruit, seed and pulp contain numerous functional phytochemicals that can be used to treat various diseases, and have be found to be highly effective in improving respiratory and cardiac functioning. Pruning is essential for fruit bearing.Plants pruned indifferent months in a year for two times stimulate growth, flowering and fruiting. A field experiment carried out in the year 2019 and was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) with 10 treatment combinations with 4 replications. Treatment P1N2found significant with the length of shoot (125.12 cm), days taken to flowering (38.25), days taken to fruit set (67.87) and days taken to first picking (98.25). Treatment P2N1(pruning in September i.e. 1stpruning) recorded higher shoot length i.e. 116.00 cm, while, P3N1(pruning in October i.e. 1stpruning) and P3N2(pruning in March after the completion of October crop i.e. 2ndpruning) found superior with number of picking during both the pruning i.e. 5.00 and 5.25 respectively. Treatment P4N1(pruning in November i.e. 1stpruning) had higher number of sprouted shoot per cane i.e. 9.37. however, treatment P5N1(pruning in December i.e. 1stpruning) was significant in days taken to flowering (44.25), days taken to fruit set (73.25) and days taken to first picking (102.12), while, P5N2(pruning in May after the completion of December crop i.e. 2ndpruning) had more number of sprouted shoot per cane i.e. 10.18.
