Abstract:
The work was undertaken to see the effect of soil application of zinc sulphate (zero, 30, 60 and 90 g/plant) and ferrous sulphate (zero, 10, 20 and 30 g/plant) on the growth parameters of 8 years old plants of guava cv. Hisar Safeda planted at 6m × 2m spacing. Application of 90 g zinc sulphate per plant showed maximum increase in plant height, plant spread (both directions) as well as stem girth, while shoot length was found maximum with 60 g zinc sulphate. Maximum plant height, stem girth and plant spread (E-W) was succeeded under 20 g ferrous sulphate treatment, whereas shoot length and increase in plant spread (N-S) was found maximum with 10 g ferrous sulphate application, which was at par with 30 g ferrous sulphate.
