Abstract:
A field experiment entitled ʻʻEffect of foliar spray of nutrients on yield and quality of Nagpur mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco.)ʼʼ was conducted during the year 2018-19, at the Fruit Instructional Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of different treatments of nutrients including macro and micro-nutrients and was laid out in Randomized Block Design. Amongst different treatments application, treatment T₂₇ (FeSO₄ 0.25% + K₂SO₄ 1.0%) foliar application was found significantly superior over other treatments in terms of growth parameters such as plant height and canopy volume. Whereas, foliar application of T₂₂ (FeSO₄ 0.25% + CuSO₄ 0.25%) treatment was found significantly superior over other treatments in terms of N-S plant spread. Overall, T₂₇ treatment exhibited better growth except plant spread.
