Type: article
Abstract: The results of this study indicate that the foliar application of micronutrients combined with mulching significantly enhances plant growth parameters, yield, and quality.Specifically, the treatment T 5 ([email protected]%+Paddy straw@5cm) exhibited the most pronounced benefits.This combination increased leaf area to 58.22 cm², yield to 29.13 kg and fruit count per plant to 203.33.Furthermore, it positively affected quality attributes, resulting in a total sugar content of 7.81%, acidity of 0.22% and ascorbic acid concentration of 155.43 mg.economically, this treatment yielded the highest net return of Rs. 415,610.3,significantly outperforming the control treatment (T 1 ), which had a net return of Rs. 225,947.7.
