The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with ten treatments of Micronutrients, the treatments were replicated thrice. The treatments were T₀ (RDF (Control)), T₁ (RDF + Boron 0.2%), T₂ (RDF + Boron 0.4%), T₃ (RDF + Boron 0.6%), T₄ (RDF + Zinc 0.2%), T₅ (RDF + Zinc 0.4%), T₆ (RDF + Zinc 0.6%), T₇ (RDF + Iron 0.2%), T₈ (RDF + Iron 0.4%) and T₉ (RDF + Iron 0.6%). From the present investigation it is found that the treatment T₅ (RDF + Zinc 0.4%) found best in terms of Growth, Yield and quality parameters of China Aster followed by treatment T₄ (RDF + Zinc 0.2%). In terms of economics of different treatments, maximum Gross Return, Net Return and Cost Benefit ratio was also found in T₅ followed by treatment T₄ where as minimum was recorded in treatment T₀ (Control).
