Abstract:
A field experimented was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm (South Block), Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh during two successive winter season of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to study the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth characters of cauliflower. The results reveals that the maximum plant height (33.67, 34.35 and 34.01 cm during 2018-19, 2019-20 and pooled analysis, respectively), number of leaves plant^-1 (18.96, 19.45 and 19.21 during 2018-19, 2019-20 and pooled analysis, respectively), leaf length (18.96, 19.45 and 19.21 cm during 2018-19, 2019-20 and pooled analysis, respectively) and leaf width (27.11, 28.39 and 27.75 cm during 2018-19, 2019-20 and pooled analysis, respectively) were observed with application of (T₁₆) Ammonium Molybdate @ 0.40% + Boron @ 0.100% which was statistically at par with (T₁₃) Ammonium Molybdate @ 0.30% + Boron @ 0.100% and (T₁₀) Ammonium Molybdate @ 0.20% + Boron @ 0.100% than rest of the treatments during both the years as well as pooled analysis. However, least value of all growth characters was observed with (T₁) control.
