Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Assessment of foliar application of micronutrients on yield attributes and yield of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)” was conducted at Research and Instructional Farm, Department of Horticulture, BTC College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bilaspur (C.G.) during Rabi Season of 2022-2023. The experiment was carried out in RBD design with three replications. Ten treatments were created by different doses of micronutrients in Brinjal variety BR-112 (Black beauty). The treatment were Control plot (T1), RDF (T2), RDF+ZnSO4 (0.4%) (T3), RDF+ZnSO4 (0.5%) (T4), RDF+Borax (0.4%) (T5), RDF+Borax (0.5%) (T6), RDF+CuSO4 (0.4%) (T7), RDF+CuSO4 (0.5%) (T8), RDF+FeSO4 (0.4%) (T9), RDF+FeSO4 (0.5%) (T10). The recommended package of practices in Brinjal were followed as per requirement. Yield and yield attributing characters such as highest number of flowers plant-1 (42), highest number of fruits plant-1 (32.68), maximum fruit diameter (9.35cm), highest fruit length (15.53cm), highest fruit weight (78.20g), minimum days required for first flower initiation (38.60), earliest days to first fruit harvest (57.54) was observed in treatment T4 (RDF+ZnSO4 0.5%). Total number of harvest (picking) did not differ significantly due to effect of different micronutrients.
