Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to assess the foliar application of micro-nutrientson growth and yield components of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill)”Azad T6. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications for tomato crop consisting 9 treatments namely Control, Boric acid (150 mg/lit.), Zinc suphate (75 mg/lit.), Ammonium molybadate (150mg/lit.), Copper sulphate (150mg/lit), Ferrous sulphate (150mg/lit), Manganese sulphate (150mg/lit), Mixture of all (150mg/lit), Multiplex (150mg/lit) to find out the effect of the growth, flowering, fruiting yield & quality and its combinations on plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, days of first flowering, number flowers per plant, number of flower clusters per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant (kg), fruit yield per plot (kg), fruit yield per hectare (q), ascorbic acid (mg/100g), total soluble solids TSS (°Brix). However, the application of micronutrient had a significant influence on plant growth flowering, fruiting yield and quality attributes of tomato and boric acid application and zinc sulphate so, boric acid application and zinc sulphate gave the highest yield than other plat growth regulators. So, T7-Mixture of all showed superior among all treatments under investigation for response tomato production
