Abstract: The present experiment was carried out during July 2019 to December 2019 in Central horticulture research farm of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 15 treatment replicated thrice. The treatments were T1 (control), T2 (Copper sulphate @ 0.2 %), T3 (Copper sulphate @ 0.4 %),T4 ( Ferrous sulphate @ 0.2 %), T5 ( Ferrous sulphate @ 0.4 %), T6 (Zinc Sulphate @ 0.2 %),T7 (Zinc Sulphate @ 0.4%), T8 (CuSO4 @ 0.2 % + FeSO4 @ 0.2 %), T9 (CuSO4 @ 0.4 % + FeSO4 @ 0.4 %),T10 (CuSO4 @ 0.2 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.2 %),T11 (CuSO4 @ 0.4 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.4 %), T12 (FeSO4 @ 0.2 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.2 %), T13 (FeSO4 @ 0.4 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.4 %), T14 (CuSO4 @ 0.2 % + FeSO4 @ 0.2 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.2 %), T15 (CuSO4 @ 0.4 % + FeSO4 @ 0.4 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.4 %). From the present investigation it is found that treatment T11 (CuSO4 @ 0.4% + ZnSO4 @ 0.4%) was found superior in terms of Plant height, Crown height, plant girth and T15 (CuSO4 @ 0.4% + FeSO4 @ 0.4% + ZnSO4 @ 0.4%) was found superior in terms of number of flowers, number of fruit set percentage, number of fruit, average fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, length of fruit, width of fruit and pulp thickness.
