2015-2017, seed crop of onion cv. Palam Lohit was sprayed with zinc, boron, molybdenum and their combinations. Foliar application of micronutrients was given as zinc sulphate, boric acid and sodium molybdate at a concentration of 5%, 1% and 0.05%, respectively, at 3 stages i.e. vegetative stage, prior to flowering and at seed set stage. The sprays of zinc @ 5% and boron @ 1% showed maximum values with respect to number of leaves plant-1 (12.67), leaf length (49.53 cm), plant height at final harvest (54.60 cm), number of umbel plant-1 (7.60), number of flower umbel-1 (465), number of seeds umbel-1 (386.67), seed yield (222.67 g plot-1 of 3.24 m 2 i.e. 618.52 kg ha-1), 1000 seed weight (3.97 g) and minimum for ovule to seed ratio (7.21) and days to bolting (113.43). The present studies revealed that onion seed crop sprayed with zinc @ 5% and boron @ 1% at vegetative stage, prior to flowering and at seed set stage significantly enhanced plant growth, yield contributing characters and seed yield. 2. Materials and Methods The present investigations were carried out at experimental Agronomic bio-fortification, micronutrients, onion, micronutrient, seed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
