RESPONSE OF REPEATED FOLIAR APPLICATION OF BORON-ZINC ON STRAWBERRY (Pages : 21 - 24)

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of repeated foliar application of boron-zinc on strawberry. Mixtures of boron-zinc (100 ppm) were sprayed on the strawberry plantlets by following T1 (no spray), T2 (spraying one time at 30 Days after transplanting, DAT), T3 (spraying two times at 30 and 45 DAT), T4 (spraying three times at 30, 45 and 60 DAT). The tallest plant (21.1 cm), maximum number of leaves (21.9), early flowering (72.7 days) and fruit harvesting (97.0 days), maximum number of flowers/plant (25.3), maximum number of fruits/plant (23.3), fruit length (3.3 cm), fruit diameter (31.6 mm), single fruit weight (15.0 g), fruit yield/plant (354.5 g) and degree of brix (11.3%) were found from the foliar application of boron-zinc three times spraying three times at 30, 45 and 60 DAT whereas the lowest values for all the above mentioned parameters were found from T1. Our results suggest that three times spraying of boron-zinc at a concentration of 100 ppm could increase the growth and yield of strawberry.Download
