Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of micronutrients on plant growth and flowering of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. vijeta was under taken at vegetable research field, Department of Horticulture, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University (Jalandhar) during rabi season (2018-19). The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with 13 treatments. The treatments consist of different combinations of micronutrients i.e., zinc, boron, copper and iron. Among these thirteen treatments, treatment T12 (ZnSO4 + B3HO3 +CuSO4 + FeSO4 @600ppm) was recorded the maximum plant height (140.50cm), minimum days to first flowering (26.20), highest no. of flower clusters (10.50), highest no. of flowers per cluster (8.62), followed by treatment T11 (ZnSO4 +B3HO3 +CuSO4 +FeSO4 @300ppm).
