Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: The present investigation was carried out at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2014-15to study the effect of soil and foliar application of multi micronutrients on fruit yield and physical parameters of fruits of mango (Mangifera indica L.) var. Amrapali. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with factorial concept with three levels of soil application viz., S1 (control), S2 (200 g/tree multi micronutrient Grade-V) and S3 (400 g/tree multi micronutrient Grade-V) and three level of foliar application viz., F1 (control), F2 (1% Spray of multi micronutrient Grade-IV) and F3 (2% Spray of multi micronutrient Grade-IV) and replicated thrice. Multi micronutrients were sprayed at three stages i.e.at flower bud initiation, at full bloom stage and at pea stage. In present investigation significantly maximum fruit weight (186.38 g), fruit volume (162.86 cc), numbers of fruits per tree (353.00), fruit yield of fruits per tree (62.99 kg), fruit yield per hectare (9.84 tonne) and fruit retention per panicle (4.00) were recorded under the treatment F2 (1% spray of multi micronutrient Grade-IV).
