Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre and Department of Horticulture, Chauras Campus, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand during the year 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in RBD with 13 treatments in 3 replication on different concentration of micronutrients. The treatments include Zn (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%), B (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%), Fe (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%), and their combination Zn+B+Fe (0.2%), Zn+B+Fe (0.4%), Zn+B+Fe (0.6%), and control. The results observed that the Yield of fruits/plant (253.33g) and yield ton/h (8.42 ton) were obtained by T11(Zn+B+Fe) 0.4%. The least values were recorded in the control.
