“…However, T 19 recorded statistically higher leaf area over Control (23.8 dm 2 plant -1 ). Increased leaf area might be due to increased plant height and more number of leaves per plant in addition to e improved photosynthetic capacity by the foliar fertilization of major nutrients viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium including the micronutrients (Prajwal et al (2018) [8] . The T 19 ( recorded the higher dry matter (165.3 g plant -1) , over Control (102.1 g plant -1 ).…”

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station (ARS) Bheemarayanagudi, UAS, Raichur, Karnataka during Rabi -2018, to study the influence of foliar spray of nutrients and PGRs on growth and yield of Rabi sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) variety M 35-1. The experiment was laid out in RCBD and was replicated thrice. There were twenty treatments consisting of primary (2%), secondary (0.5%), micronutrients (0.1%), salicylic acid (200 ppm) and cycocel (4000 ppm) alone or in combination. Foliar spray treatments viz., CCC and SA were imposed at 40 and 50 DAS, respectively. The foliar spray of essential nutrients were imposed twice at 60 and 80 DAS. Foliar spray treatment T19 (Primary nutrients@ 2%+ Secondary nutrients @ 0.5%+ Micronutrients @0.1%+ SA @200ppm + CCC@400ppm) recorded the significant improvement grain yield (1996.5 kg ha -1 )over control (1,376 kg ha -1 ). The significant increase in the seed yield with combination of nutrients and PGRs (T19) may be due to the improvement in the yield traits namely ear length, ear weight, seeds per ear and test weight, which were largely depends on the growth parameters like plant height, leaf area and total dry matter accumulation and its partition into leaf, stem, and ear. Thus, improvement in the yield seems to be due to timely supply of essential nutrients and PGRs

“…The N isotopic tracer technique demonstrated that cotton plants had a higher nitrogen uptake efficiency of 28% and accumulated 11.35 mg of nitrogen via root uptake with ammonium N treatment after foliar application compared to the water control treatment (Cangsong et al, 2018). The increased uptake of nitrogen was a result of the positive impact of foliar nutrients on root proliferation, growth, and development, resulting in better anchorage and deep penetration of root into the soil, which led to a greater amount of nutrient uptake from the rhizosphere (Prajwal Kumar et al, 2018). Foliar nutrients can be absorbed and transported through the stem to the roots, thus enhancing root activity and preventing premature senescence of the roots, thereby enhancing the absorptive capacity of the roots; this interaction makes the combination of soil and foliar fertilisation a relevant practice (Niu et al, 2020).…”

Okra is an important vegetable crop with high nutritional and economic value. Various approaches have been attempted to increase its production, including foliar fertilisers. This study aims to determine the optimal time to apply foliar fertiliser in a day to improve the final yield in Abelmoschus esculentus L. var. Torpedo and evaluate okra’s growth and yield responses by integrating foliar fertiliser as supplementary fertiliser with granule fertiliser in a controlled environment. The study was conducted in a rain shelter under a randomised complete block design with 3 blocks comprising 3 replications within each block. The treatments involved a combination of foliar and granule application at different timings: sunrise, midday, and dusk, and solely granule fertiliser at labelled recommended rates. The control group was treated with only granule fertiliser at the same rate as the combined foliar and granule application. The study found that the application of foliar fertiliser during dusk (6–7 p.m.) showed a higher trend of potential yield, which revealed the potential of dusk foliar fertiliser application timing as the optimal timing for foliar fertilisation. The study also demonstrated that incorporating liquid foliar fertiliser with granular fertiliser can enhance nutrient uptake and promote plant growth, leading to a more sustainable farming practice by reducing inorganic soil granule fertilisers. The potential yield under the combined fertiliser treatments was 5% to 20% higher when compared to experiment control while comparable to the conventional fertiliser application treatment, despite using 45% less nitrogen. Therefore, the study suggests that farmers integrate foliar and soil fertilisation methods to achieve optimal crop yield production and promote sustainable farming.
