Studies on Effect of Foliar Feeding on Fruiting and Yield of Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.) under Sodic Soil

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: An experiment was carried out to study the “Effect of foliar feeding on fruiting and yield of ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.) under sodic soil” in the year 2019-20. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The foliar feeding of urea (2.0%), zinc sulphate (0.50%), borax 0.50% and K2SO4 0.50% a at peak flowering, peanut size of fruit and second growth phase significantly increased the fruiting characteristics (fruit retention % and number of fruit per tree), fruit size (length and width), fruit weight pulp and stone weight, specific gravity and yield per ha. over control. The maximum effect on all parameters, treatment T10 was observed best with the feeding of Urea 2.0% + ZnSO4 0.50% + Borax 0.50% + K2SO4 0.50%. However, the combination of Urea 2.0% + ZnSO4 0.50% + Borax 0.50% + K2SO4 0.50% was found most effective in fruiting and yield of ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.) under sodic soil.
