Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi-2010 to find out the response of foliar application of micronutrients on vegetative and reproductive growth attributes, in two varieties of tomato vizUtkalKumari and Utkal Raja. The treatments consisted of boron, zinc, molybdenum, copper, iron, manganese, mixture of all and control and the experiment was laid our in RBD with three replications. All the Micronutrients except manganese at 50ppm were applied at 100ppm in three sprays at an interval of ten days starting from 30 days after transplanting. All the treatments resulted in improvement of plant growth characteristics viz. plant height, number of primary branches, compound leaves, tender and mature fruits per plant in both the varieties out of which application of micronutrients mixture showed the maximum effect. In tomato cv. UtkalKumari, maximum growth rate (85.7 %) was observed with application of zinc, followed by application of micronutrients mixture (78.2 %) and boron (77.5 %). Tomato cv. Utkal Raja, maximum increase in branches per plant was observed with the application of manganese (148.7 %) followed by micronutrient combination (144.1 %). In UtkalKumari, the fruit yield per plant ranged from 1.336 kg to1.867 and in Utkal Raja, it ranged from 1.500 kg to 1.967 kg. In both the varieties, combined application of micronutrients produced the maximum fruit yield followed by application of boron and zinc.
