Abstract:
Micronutrients are critical in the development of high-quality fruits of cherry tomatoes and increasing the production. A field experiment was conducted during spring summer, 2020-2021 at Vegetable Research Farm of Department of Agriculture, Khalsa College, Amritsar to investigate the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on yield and quality traits of cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) under protected condition. The experiment consisted of seven treatments 100 ppm Copper sulphate, 100 ppm Borax, 100 ppm Zinc sulphate, 100 ppm Magnesium sulphate, 100 ppm Ferrous sulphate, mixture of all the micronutrients 100 ppm each and Control (distilled water) each replicated thrice and assessed in a Randomized Block Design. The treatment having combination of all micronutrients of 100 ppm outperformed the other treatments in terms of yield and its contributing traits of the cherry tomato.
