Abstract:
The experiment was conducted under All India Coordinated Research Project on Fruits at Agriculture Research Station, Banswara (Rajasthan) to evaluate the response of micro-nutrients application on fruit yield and quality of mango cv. Dashehari. The result data indicates that treatment T₇ (i.e. Application of RDF + 100 g Zinc Sulphate + 50 g Copper Sulphate + 50 g Borax (as soil application in tree basin after fruit harvest) + Foliar spray of 0.2% Zinc Sulphate + 0.1% Copper Sulphate + 0.1% Boric acid (2 sprays, just before flowering and at marble stage) was found best with respect to the highest fruit yield (13.09 t/ha) and shelf life of fruits (8.33 days) and it was found significantly at par with treatment T₈. Further, T₇ treatment was also registered with the highest soil and leaf nutrient status as compared to control.
