Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2019-20 at Horticulture Farm of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, and Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with 11+1 treatments, replicated thrice the treatments were T₀ Control, T₁ 10 Kg/ ha ZnSo₄, T₂ 10 Kg/ha FeSo₄, T₃ 10 Kg/ha Borax, T₄ 10 Kg/ha CuSo₄, T₅ 5 Kg/ha ZnSo₄ + 5 Kg/ha FeSo₄, T₆ 5Kg/ha FeSo₄ + 5 Kg/ha Borax, T₇ 5 Kg/ha Borax + 5 Kg/h ZnSo₄, T₈ 5 Kg/h ZnSo₄ + 2.5Kg/ha FeSo₄ + 2.5Kg/ha Borax, T₉ 5 Kg FeSo₄ + 2.5 Kg Borax +2.5 Kg/ ha ZnSo₄, T₁₀ 5Kg/ha Borax + 2.5 Kg/ ha ZnSo₄+ 2.5Kg/ha CuSo₄, T₁₀ 30 Kg ZnSo₄ + 10 Kg FeSo₄ + 10 Kg CuSo₄. From the present investigation it was found that the treatment T₈ 5 Kg/h ZnSo₄ + 2.5Kg/ha FeSo₄ + 2.5Kg/ha Borax was superior in respect of the parameters plant height (63.80 cm), number of leaves per plant (11.20), bulb size (7.20 cm), bolting percentage (15.50%) fresh weight of bulb per plant (65.89 g), weight of cured bulb (58.56), Bulb thickness (5.80 cm), yield per plot (3.20 kg), yield per hectare (205.75 qt/ha),total soluble solid (10.89 ^o Brix) and ascorbic acid (10.12 mg/100g).
