INFLUENCE OF BASAL APPLICATION OF ZINC AND BORON ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF CHERRY TOMATO UNDER PROTECTED CULTIVATION (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM VAR. CERASIFORME)Arzoo Dhiman and Devi SinghAbstract A field experiment entitled âInfluence of Basal Application of Zinc and Boron on Growth, Yield and Quality of Cherry Tomato under Protected Cultivation (Solanum lycopersicum var.c erasiforme) at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higgin Botham University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 09 treatments. The experiment consisted of Production of Cherry Tomato (Pusa Cherry 1). The Highest Yield (25.88 t/ha) of Cherry Tomato was obtained from Treatment (T8), i.e. (RDF +B@2 kg/ha +Zn@2kg/ha) followed by Treatment T7 (RDF+B@2 kg/ha +Zn@1kg/ha.) Whereas the lowest in Treatment T0 (control). The Highest Yield is (25.88t/ha) While considering the experimental findings Treatment T8 (RDF + B@2kg/ha + Zn@2kg/ha) was found to be the most suitable combination for Higher production under Protected Cultivation in Prayagraj Agro climatic conditions. |
