Abstract:
Micronutrients play an essential role in the plant metabolic processes that helps to improve growth and quality of onion. A field experiment was conducted during spring summer, 2021-2022 at Vegetable Research Farm of Department of Agriculture, Khalsa College, Amritsar to investigate the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth, yield and quality attributes of onion. The experiment consisted of seven micronutrients treatments replicated thrice and evaluated in a Randomized Block Design. The mixture of micronutrients outperformed from all other treatments in terms of growth, yield and quality attributes with the maximum plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, higher bulb yield and maximum dry matter content, total soluble solids and ascorbic acid.
