Present studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of fertilizer application at different times of the year on the productivity of kinnow. 40 kg rottened farm yard manure, 1 kg urea, 4 kg single supper phosphate and 1 kg sulphate of potash per plant was applied at three different times i.e., in January, April and July. Application in January improved the number of fruits, fruit size, weight of fruit and juice contents during 1997-1998. TSS and juice percentage was no affected by any treatment. The same trend for effect of fertilizers was also observed during 1998-1999 with a difference only that juice percentage was also affected with fertilizer treatment and increases when the fertilizer was applied in January. When the fertilizers were applied in April or July, no improvement was noted and the results was similar to or worse than control.
