Abstract
The field experiment was carried out with title “Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. Arka Samrat” at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during the Rabi-2021-22 with a view to determine the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on tomato variety ‘Arka Samrat’ for its growth, quality and yield and to work out the economics of various treatments. Under this experiment, overall 8 treatment was taken T1 Control (water spray), T2 FeSO4 @ 0.2% spray, T3 Ca(NO3)2 @ 0.2% spray, T4 H3BO3@0.1% spray, T5 ZnSO4 @ 0.2% spray, T6 FeSO4 @ 0.2% + Ca(NO3)2 @ 0.2% + H3BO3 @ 0.1% + ZnSO4 @ 0.2% spray, T7 Ca(NO3)2 @ 0.2% + ZnSO4 @ 0.2% spray, T8 Ca(NO3)2 @ 0.2% + H3BO3@0.1% spray. From the above experimental finding it may be concluded that the treatment T6 (FeSO4 @ 0.2% + (CaNO3)-2 @ 0.2%+ H3BO3 @ 0.1% + ZnSO4 @ 0.2%) was found to be best in the terms of growth Yield and quality of tomato. While, the maximum Plant height (167.85 cm), highest No. of leaves per plant (204.33), Minimum Days to 50% flowering (37.33 DAS), Maximum No. of flower per cluster (5.12), Maximum No. of fruit per plant (60.33) and maximum Fruit set per cluster (5.06), Maximum fruit weight (94.22 g), Maximum average yield per plant (5.68 kg), Maximum average yield per plot (34.10), Maximum average yield per hectare (189.43t/ha), Maximum Total soluble solid (5.23), Maximum Ascorbic Acid (26.11).
