“…It also plays an essential role in improving yield and quality and highly required for better plant growth and yield of many crops (Alam et al, 2010). Soil application of micronutrients during crop growth (onion) was successfully used for correcting their deficits and improving the mineral status of plants as well as increasing the crop yield and quality (Jawaharlal et al, 1986;Thakare et al, 2007;Ali, 2013). Boron deficiency in fresh fruit market is often not documented by the growers.…”

The importance of studying in agriculture the impact of individual micronutrients on the course of production processes and their impact on the quality of garlic is an important issue. The influence of iron, zinc and boron in different norms against the background of the recommended norm NPK. The research results showed significant increasing of chlorophyll content by the application of Iron 10 and 20 kg/ha – 12.0 and 16.4%; by the application zinc increasing of chlorophyll was significant on all variants – 15.1; 48.0 and 30.4% in respectively with the norms. By the application of boron content of chlorophyll was the least significant – 10.9% at the maximum norm – 6 kg/ha. The dynamic activity of antioxidant enzymes was similar before the dynamics of growth processes. The activity of the enzyme was highest for the optimal norms of micronutrients. Among the studied complex of the enzymes most significantly increases actityes catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Zinc has the greatest effect on the formation of bulb mass. The increase in bulb weight by the application of zinc fertilizer was significant in all variants – + 14.3–20.0% to control. Fertilization with microelements in the minimum and optimal norms contributed to a significant increase in yield, the application of maximum norms led to a decrease in productivity in general, except boron, where plant productivity increased with increasing norms, from which it can be concluded that garlic needs were insufficient 6 kg/ha is not the maximum. With fertilization of iron in the norms of 10 and 20 kg/ha the yield increase was 4.26 and 4.85 t/ha and was significant, by the application of 30 kg/ha of iron the yield of garlic was higher than the control by 3.70 t/ha. Zinc fertilization had the best effect on yield increase (+ 4.25–5.12 t/ha). A significant increase in yield for boron fertilization was observed at the maximum rate (+3.26 t/ha). By the application of zinc and boron contributed to the extension of the marketability of garlic bulbs to 210 and 220 days for warm storage and up to 240 and 260 days for cold. During warm storage, after 210 and 260 days – during cold storage there was a mass germination of the cloves. Bulbs of the control variant and y the application of iron germinated after 120 and 180 and 190–210 days according to the variant and storage regime. Further research is to study the combinations of the studied micronutrients on physiological processes and biochemical parameters and to optimize their norms for local fertilization.

An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2020–21 and 2021–22 at Horticulture farm of Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan to determine the effect of transplanting date, cultivar and zinc application method on growth, yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.). Experiment was conducted in split-plot design and replicated thrice. The treatments consist of 2 transplanting dates, viz. 10th December and 01st January; and 3 cultivars, viz. RO-01, RO-59 and Bhima Shakti were kept in main plot; and in sub- plots, 4 methods of zinc application, viz. control, soil application of ZnSO4 @25 kg/ha, dipping of onion seedlings in zinc solubilizer solution before transplanting and foliage spray of ZnSO4 @0.5% at 30 and 45 days after transplanting were kept. Significantly higher plant growth, bulb yield (416.8, 358.0 and 387.4 q/ha) and quality of onion were recorded in 01st January transplanting date. Among the cultivars, significantly higher plant growth, bulb yield (417.5, 358.4 and 388.0 q/ha) and quality of onion were recorded in Bhima Shakti but these parameters were at par with RO-59. In zinc application methods, significantly higher plant growth, bulb yield (41.5, 35.8 and 38.7 t/ha) and quality of onion were noticed under foliar application of ZnSO4 @0.5% but these were found at par with soil application of ZnSO4. Thus, the conclusion of findings was that the transplanting of Bhima Shakti cultivar on 01st January and with foliar application of ZnSO4 @0.5% had the potential effect to increase onion performance.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of organic manures and zinc on radish's growth, yield, quality and economics. The maximum average weight of the root (193.72 g), root: shoot ratio (2.72), root yield (258.86 q/ha), ascorbic acid (13.72 mg/100g), zinc content in leaves (25.05 ppm),) net return (Rs 170280/ha) and B: C ratio (2.92) were recorded and significantly influenced in treatment M2 but these parameters were at par with M3 except net return. In the case of zinc levels, the maximum average weight of root (194.81 g), root: shoot ratio (2.62), root yield (253.30 q/ha), ascorbic acid (13.40 mg/100g), net return (Rs 167810/ha) and B: C ratio (2.96) were recorded in treatment ZnSO4 @ 25 kg/ha but these parameters were at par with Z3. However, zinc content in leaves and roots (27.31 & 47.15 ppm) were recorded more in treatment Z3 @ 30 kg/ha but these parameters did not differ significantly from treatment Z2. The combining effect of different organic manures and zinc levels was significant on the B: C ratio. Moreover, the interactive effect between vermicompost @ 3 t/ha along with ZnSO4 @ 25 kg/ha was significantly higher (3.27) over the rest of the treatments except M3Z3, M2Z3 and M3Z2, which were found statistically at par to it.
