“…Its attractive appearance, penetrating aroma of peel and excellent taste gives a remarkable position to acid lime which is grown widely throughout the world (Babu, 2001) [4] . Nutritional deficiencies are closely associated with the poor plant growth and fruit set, heavy fruit drop, inferior quality of produce and also make the tree vulnerable to diseases, pests and other disorders (Vasure et al, 2018) [29] . It is well established that urea significantly improve the yield and quality characteristics as compared to the control.…”

An experiment was conducted on healthy, uniform 12-year-old trees of Acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia swingle) cv. Kagzi lime at Fruit Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science at KNK College of Horticulture, and Mandsaur during 2016-2017. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications. There were three levels of Urea, Zinc Sulphate and Borax i.e., Urea (0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%), ZnSO4 (0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5%) and Borax (0.4%, 0.5% and 0.6%) and with three levels of combination (Urea, Borax and ZnSO4) Urea 0.5% +Borax 0.4% +ZnSO4 0.3%, Urea 1.5% +Borax 0.5% +ZnSO4 0.4% and Urea 1.5% +Borax 0.6% +ZnSO4 0.5% were applied and compared with control. Maximum Number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit yield was recorded with foliar spray of T12 (Urea 1.5% +Borax 0.6% +ZnSO4 0.5). Further significantly increased quality characteristics like Maximum TSS, ascorbic acid, TSS: acid ratio were also recorded with foliar spray of T12 (Urea 1.5% +Borax 0.6% + ZnSO4 0.5%).
