The research experiment was carried out on “Effect of multimicronutrient on fruit quality and shelf life of aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) cv. Gujarat Aonla-1”. The experiment was conducted during kharif – Rabi season of the year 2017-18 at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. There were three levels of soil application of multimicronutrient (Grade-V) viz., S1 - Control, S2 - 250 g/tree and S3 - 500 g/tree and three levels of foliar application of multimicronutrient (Grade-IV) viz., F1-Control, F2-1 % spray and F3 - 2 % spray. Multimicronutrient (Grade-V) was given as soil application at onset of monsoon and multimicronutrient (Grade-IV) was foliar sprayed at pin head and pea stage. Among all the treatments, F2 (1 % spray of multimicronutrient Grade-IV) treatment was most effective treatment and which was recorded significantly maximum total soluble solids, shelf life, ascorbic acid and minimum acidity and internal necrosis affected fruits. There were non-significant effect of soil application of multimicronutrient (Grade-V) on total soluble solids (TSS), acidity and shelf life whereas, there were significant effect of soil application of multimicronutrient (Grade-V) on ascorbic acid and internal necrosis affected fruits. Among all the treatments, S3 (500 g/tree multimicronutrient Grade-V) treatment was recorded significantly maximum ascorbic acid and minimum internal necrosis affected fruits.
