Response of foliar fertilization of micronutrients on fruit growth and yield in lowchill peach cv. Sharbati

Effect of Soil and Foliar Application of Multi Micronutrients on Fruit Yield and Physical Parameters of Fruit of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) var. Amrapali

“…The involvement of zinc directly in growth and boron is stimulate rapid mobilization of water and sugar in the fruit. Similar results were obtained by Bhatt et al, (2012) in mango, Yadav et al, (2013) in peach and Chandra and Singh (2015) in aonla and interaction effect of soil and foliar application on fruit volume was found to be non-significant. The perusal of data (Table 1) revealed that different levels of multi micronutrients of through soil and foliar application were unable to create any significant influence on diameter of fruit and the interaction between soil and foliar application was found also nonsignificant with respect to fruit diameter.…”

Plant Growth, Yield, Macro and Micro-Nutrients Uptake of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) Positively Affected by N-Sources and Rates as well as Foliar Application of Micronutrients

“…The positive effects of foliar application of micronutrients on fennel plants may be due to that the measured concentrations of Fe, Mn and Zn in the tested soil were less than critical threshold, whereas the critical threshold for Fe, Mn and Zn are 2.5-4.5, 1.2-1.4 and 0.5-1.0 mg kg -1 soil. The results in this investigation were in harmony with the results of Bhati and Srivastava (2005), Narimani et al (2010), El-Fouly et al (2011), Anees et al (2011) and Yadav et al (2013) who found that foliar application of micronutrients mixtures improved the yield and elements uptake in tomato, wheat, durum wheat, mango and peach, respectively. Iron (Fe) is a cofactor for approximately 140 enzymes that catalyze unique biochemical reactions (Brittenham, 1994).…”

Role of Micronutrients (Fe, Zn, B, Cu, Mg, Mn and Mo) in Fruit Crops

“…Boron affects pollination and the development of viable seeds which in turn affect the normal development of fruit. Borex response was more positive due to boron which plays an important role in translocation of carbohydrates, auxin synthesis to the sink and increased in pollen viability and fertilization Yadav et al, (2013). A shortage of boron also causes cracking and distorted growth in fruit.…”

“…Dusehri. Yadav et al, (2013) reported that the highest fruit weight (74.14g), length (5.59 cm), diameter (5.08 cm), volume (44.57 ml) and fruit firmness (12.37 lb inch-2) with foliar application of 0.1 % H 3 BO 3 + 0.5 % ZnSO 4 , 7H 2 O + 0.5 % FeSO 4 , 7H 2 O on low-chill peach cv. Sharbati.…”
