Abstract:
An investigation entitled “Studies on different grades and time of application of micronutrient mixture on growth, yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa” was carried out during the year 2021-22. The experiment was laid out with Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments and three replications. The outcome obtain revealed that treatment (T₉) RDF + Grade-1 chelated (12.5g) + Grade-2 sulphate (15g)/thrice showed better in terms of maximum incremental plant height (18.00 cm), incremental stem girth (1.17cm), plant spread in N-S (23.00cm) and E-W (25.67cm). The flowering attributes like, minimum days required for flower initiation (40.17) and days required for 50% flowering (20.50) and maximum total number of flowers per plant (183.50) were observed in treatment (T₆) RDF + Grade-2 sulphate @ 30g/ thrice while maximum days required for flower initiation (49.33) and days required for 50% flowering (27.67) and minimum total number of flowers per plant (158.43) was noticed in Treatment T10 (Control) respectively. The maximum number of fruits per plant (72.50), length of fruit (8.05cm), diameter of fruit (8.55 cm), weight of fruit (260.90g), yield per plant (18.91kg) and yield per hectare (139.96 q) were also observed maximum in treatment (T6) RDF + Grade-2 sulphate @ 30g/ thrice compared to control.
