“…In this experiment, the Si individually and the combination with other micronutrients in a saline environment was found to significantly be effective in the weight of 500-seed over control. The result is in accordance with previous findings of 1000-seed weight in okra (Kumar et al, 2021) where it is concluded that 1000-seed weight linearly increased with the foliar application of B and Zn individually and their combinations. The increase in seed weight in this work could be the result of foliar application of micronutrients on okra under a slightly saline environment.…”

Background: Micronutrients are required in trace amounts, but are importantly associated with plant growth and development. While soil salinity causes a frequent micronutrient deficiency in soil, the condition withholds plant growth, development, and eventually crop production. Since foliar application of micronutrient provides rapid nutrient absorption compared to soil amendments, it may confer straightforward mitigation of salinity stress. However, micronutrients availability to plants under saline conditions has drawn limited attention. Objective: To study the role of four micronutrients namely boron (B), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), and silicon (Si) as well as their combinations as foliar application on growth, development, and yield responses of ‘okra cv. Nulok F1’ in a naturally very slightly salinized soil. Methodology: The research site belongs to Young Meghna Estuarine Flood Plain under the soil of Agro-ecological Zones (AEZ)-18. The area of EC dsm-1 2.39 is used for the cultivation of horticultural and cereal crops. The one-factor experiment was designed in a randomized complete block design with three replications and six treatments. The factor having six different micronutrients and their combinations under saline soil viz. T1 = control (untreated), T2 = 0.2 % B as solubor®, T3 = 0.2 % ZnSO4, T4 = 0.2 % KCl, T5 = 0.2% SiO2, and T6 = 0.2% solubor® B + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% SiO2 + 0.2% KCl. Result: A number of foliar treatments of micronutrients substantially improved plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, depth of root, fruit length, number of fruits, single fruit weight, yield plot-1, and total yield. Implication: Among the treatments, Si, and a mixture of solubor® B, Zn, Cl, and Si significantly uphold growth and yield-related attributes of okra indicating them as suitable micronutrients for okra production in salt-affected areas. Conclusion: The foliar application of Si and the mixtures of the four aforementioned micronutrients might enhance the growth and yield attributes of ‘okra cv. Nulok F1’ under salinity stress.

“…Foliar application of zinc resulted in a maximum number of fruits per plant (113.99), fruit length (9.45 cm), fruit weight per plant (660.19 g), yield tons ha -1 (2.85 tons/ha), and 1000 seed weight (3.54 g) were recorded in the plot to which received zinc of 3 kg per hectares [46]. Kumar et al, [28] reported that spraying the crop with a solution containing 0.75 percent zinc and 0.25 percent boron twice, 45 and 65 days after transplanting, resulted in the highest possible green and dry yields. Spraying with zinc at a concentration of 0.75 percent was shown to be helpful in increasing both the growth and yield of the plants.…”

Micronutrients are necessary for the development and continued existence of plant life, as well as the nourishment of crops. Boron and zinc are found to have beneficial effects on the growth, production, and quality of a wide variety of crops, such as tomatoes, chilies, brinjal, cauliflower, broccoli, okra, and carrots, amongst many others. The different studies show that boron in soil and foliar increases tomato vegetative growth and production. Boron 2 kg/ha in the soil and 150 ppm or 3.8 mg/L foliar spray improve yield. According to investigations, adding boron to chilli at 1-3 kg/ha increases yield. Boron, vermicompost, and magnesium are also claimed to increase yields in significant amount. The applying boron on brinjal produced a significantly higher yield, 26% yield increase over control. Applying borax in the soil and foliar concentration at 100 ppm increases cauliflower output and improves its vegetative characteristics. 100 ppm zinc foliar spray increases production by 150-200% in tomato. However, zinc treatment improves vegetative development and reproductive traits, directly increasing tomato output. Zinc applied at 0.5 to 0.75 % to chili increased overall yield significantly.it is also found that application of the zinc in bottle gourd, broccoli and okra found to be beneficial in increasing the overall production which will cause the benefit to the farmer. Concluding that the application of boron and zinc on vegetables found to be significantly beneficial in various ways as per discussed in the review.

“…Results are in agreement with the findings of Babu and Yadav (2005) who reported that application of zinc with boron increased the total sugars percentage in Khasi mandarin. Kumari and Deb (2018) reported that reducing sugar content of pineapple cv. Mauritius was significantly influenced by foliar application of ZnSO 4 at 0.5% and borax at 0.5%.…”

Background: Papaya (Carica papaya L.) belonging to Caricaceae family has long been recognized as a wonder fruit of the tropics and grown predominantly for its delicious taste and extraction of its digestive constituent papain. As vegetative growth and flowering is simultaneous in this crop, supply of requisite amount of nutrients is necessary during the active growth period, which is possible through fertigation. Knowledge on correct dose of fertilizers to be provided through fertigation is very crucial. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during the period 2018-2020 at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram to investigate the response of fertigation and foliar spray on yield and fruit quality of papaya variety Surya. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with combination of four fertigation doses of 75%, 100%, 125% and 150% RDF of N and K and three foliar sprays (1% 19:19:19, 0.5% ZnSO4+0.3% borax and water spray) which where compared with soil application of recommended dose of NPK (control 1) and soil application of NPK plant-1 year-1 based on soil test data as organic manures as combination of FYM, poultry manure and vermicompost in the ratio of 2:1:1 (control 2). Result: The findings of the study revealed that application of 100% RD of N and K through fertigation at weekly interval from one MAP to 20 MAP and foliar sprays of 0.5% ZnSO4 and 0.3% borax at 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th MAP (T5) along with basal application of 850 g rock phosphate and 15 kg FYM improved the yield and fruit quality parameters and can be recommended for commercial papaya cultivation.
