The present research work conducted to find out the effect of plant growth regulators and micronutrients on growth, yield, and quality of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) under open field condition. The experiment was designed in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. The experiment was conducted on Horticulture farm at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University; Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2022 to June 2023. The experimental treatments included three levels of PGR i.e. No PGR, 200 ppm gibberellic acid (GA3) and 100 ppm Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and three levels of micronutrients i.e.no micronutrients, 200 ppm Boron and 200 ppm Zn. The treatments had a substantial effect on growth, yield, and quality of Brinjal. GA3 treated plants performed better than NAA and no PGR treated plants and Zn produced higher yields and quality than Boron and no micronutrients treated plants in most of the parameters. Considering treatment combination of PGR and micronutrients, plant height, leaf area (471.33 cm2), SPAD value (52.95), number of flowers plant-1 (65.33), number of fruits plant-1 (58.38), yield plant-1 (3312.8g), lipid (0.35%) were observed highest from the treatment combination of 200 ppm GA3 with 200 ppm Zinc whereas dry weight of whole plant (158.80 g), individual fruit weight (67.33g) and fiber (12.28%) were observed from the treatment combination of 100 ppm NAA with 200 ppm zinc but in case of number of branch (14.00) and Ash (8.44%) were observed from the treatment of 100 ppm NAA application . Maximum parameter showed lowest value under no treatment combination. This study suggests that foliar application of GA3 with micronutrients such as Zinc during flowering stage of eggplant is the most effective strategy for improving the nutritional quality of Brinjal fruits and increasing crop yields, both of which will help to reduce micronutrient malnutrition and hunger worldwide.

“…Among the micronutrients, boron, molybdenum and zinc are considered the most vital and significant for cauliflower production. In cauliflower, boron is correlated with improved curd production [8,9] and is also susceptible to boron deficiency [10]. Molybdenum (Mo) is directly related to the metabolic function of nitrogen in the plants through nitrate reductase enzyme that reduces the nitrate to nitrite [11,12] and it is known to increase the cauliflower yield and ascorbic acid content [13,14].…”

A Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different macro and micronutrients on soil and plant in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) cv. Pusa Sharad at Research cum Instructional farm of Horticulture, Department of Vegetable Science, IGKV, Raipur during two consecutive seasons i.e., Rabi season 2017-18 and Rabi season 2018-19. The experiment was carried out under randomized block design consisting of fifteen treatments in three replicates. The important parameters encompassed in the study were available nitrogen (kg ha-1), phosphorus (kg ha-1), potassium (kg ha-1), boron (ppm), molybdenum (ppm) and zinc (ppm) content in soil and nitrogen (%), phosphorous (%), potassium (%), boron (ppm), molybdenum (ppm) and zinc content (ppm) in plants. All the treatments had a remarkable effect on the growth and yield of cauliflower, of which T5 (100% RDF + Borax @ 20 kg ha-1 + Ammonium molybdate @ 2 kg ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1) had the most significant influence on all parameters under the study as compared to T1 (control). Micronutrient application can enhance the growth, curd maturity and curd yield of cauliflower.
