Abstract:
The field experiment was carried out at Campus for Research and Advanced Studies, Dhablan, PG Department of Agriculture, GSSDGS Khalsa College, Patiala during Rabi season in 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) comprising of eleven treatments and three replications. In case of different treatments maximum plant height (124.42 cm), number of branches plant^-1 (18.91), number of leaves plant^-1 (159.27) and in yield attributes maximum results are recorded such as diameter of fruit (4.89 cm),weight of single fruit (87.23 g), fruit yield kg plot^-1 (44.85), fruit yield q ha^-1 (461.38) was observed in the treatmentT₇ – 75% RDF + ZnSO₄ (12.5%) + B (12.5%) and this treatment was significantly superior over the other treatments. The minimum growth and yield were obtained from the treatment T₁ (control).
