Abstract:
An experiment entitled “effect of zinc and iron on yield and quality of summer okra” was carried out during summer season of the year 2020-21 at the farm of Horticulture section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The treatment comprised of the four zinc levels viz., 0% control i.e. (water spray), 0.25% ZnSO₄, 0.5% ZnSO₄, 0.75% ZnSO₄ and four iron levels 0% control i.e. water spray, 0.25% FeSO₄, 0.5% FeSO₄, 0.75% FeSO₄. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The result obtained the present investigation indicated that, the growth parameter in terms of plant height (cm), stem diameter (cm), branches plant^-1, leaf area (cm²) maximum in 0.5% ZnSO₄ as well as 0.5% FeSO₄. The interaction effect of zinc and iron for the growth parameters were found non Significant.
