“…The TSS and TSS/TA were affected by low Zn concentration in leaves. Application of Zn increased TSS of tomato was reported by Kazemi (2013) and Kumari (2012), increase TSS of mango was reported by Bahadur et al (1998). Treatment T3 was not applied K-fertilizer and K concentration in leaves was also lower than the others after 15 months.…”

Pummelo-growing soils in southern Thailand are usually low concentrations of potassium, calcium, magnesium and zinc; therefore, the roles of these elements are essential and their effects on nutrient uptake and fruit quality that should be considered in this area in current and future pummelo orchard. The study was carried out during 2013 to 2014 production year on a 17 year pummelo (Citrus maxima Merr.). The objective of the study was to examine the effects of ammonium (NH 4 ), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) fertilization over the farmer practice on nutrient uptake and fruit quality. The experiment comprised of 5 treatments; apply all, not apply NH 4 , not apply K, not apply Mg and farmer practice. Application of fertilizer increased N, Ca and Mg concentrations in the leaves, but K and Zn concentrations in leaves decreased after application. However, their concentrations were in optimum ranges. High K/Ca, K/Mg mole ratios and low exchangeable Mg in soil positively affected on K uptake. Low Ca/Mg mole ratio and low exchangeable Ca in soil negatively affected on Ca uptake. The TSS and TSS/TA tended to decline when the treatments were not applied K-fertilizer. The fruit qualities were greater in the treatments with K/Ca, K/Mg and Ca/Mg mole ratios in soil were 0.23 to 0.27, 0.63 to 0.71 and 2.35 to 3.08, respectively. This study showed that K and Zn still required for pummelo growing in this soil.

“…Zinc uptake rate was faster in mango trees when zinc sulfate was foliar applied as compared with its soil application (Bahadur et al, 1998). However, the foliar or soil application of zinc sulfate showed no effect on fruit yield and quality of mango, except for TSS in the fruit.…”

Effects of foliar sprays of zinc and manganese sulfates on the fruit yield and quality as well as leaf nutrients concentration of pomegranate were studied during 2010 growing season in an orchard with a soil pH of 7.5 and EC of 5.2 (dS m -1 ). Zinc and manganese sulfates were applied two times at the rate of 0, 0.3 and 0.6 percent under a factorial design on the base of completely randomized blocks. Mn sprays had positive significant effects on the fruit yield, the aril/peel ratio, TSS, weight of 100 arils, juice content of arils, anthocyanin index, fruit diameter and leaf area. Zn effects were also significant for TSS, TSS/TA ratio, juice content of arils and leaf area. Foliar spray of Mn significantly increased Mn and N but decreased Zn and Cu concentrations in leaves. Foliar sprays of Zn significantly increased Zn but decreased Mn and P concentrations in the leaves. According to the results, the suitable combination of these two micronutrients for studied characters of pomegranate under prevailing conditions was foliar spray of 0.6% MnSO 4 and 0.3% ZnSO 4 .

“…Application of Zn at 0.6% plus 2,4-D at 20 ppm as foliar spray gave the best results with regard to fruit weight, diameter, juice percentage, TSS and ascorbic acid content in Kagzi lime (Batru et al, 1984). Bahadur et al (1998) claimed that the Zn uptake rate was faster in mango trees when zinc sulfate was foliar applied as compared with its soil application. While, the boron requirement is much higher for reproductive growth than for vegetative growth and increases flower production and retention, pollen tube elongation and germination, and seed and fruit development (Peres and Reyes, 1983).…”

To study the effect of foliar application of humic acid at 0.05%, zinc at 0.05% and boron at 0.02% on biochemical changes related to productivity of pungent pepper cv. Bullet (Capsicum annuum L.), a pot experiment in randomized block design with three replications was conducted in the net house of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia-741252, West Bengal, India. In This experiment, we observed some physiological and biochemical characteristics of pungent pepper. Obtained results revealed that the highest value of height of plant, numbers of leaf plant-1 , leaf area, numbers of branch plant-1 , numbers of fruit plant-1 and fruit length were exhibited by foliar application of HA + Zn + B. The highest value of fruit diameter, weight of 20 fresh fruits, numbers of seed fruit-1 and weight of 100 seeds were exhibited by foliar application of Zn + B and HA + Zn + B, respectively. The total chlorophyll content significantly increased in HA + Zn + B followed by HA + B and Zn + B application. The highest value of reducing sugar, total sugar and starch content were obtained by application of HA + Zn + B. The highest content of protein, fat, energy and total phenol were exhibited by foliar application of Zn + B, Zn, HA + Zn + B and HA + Zn + B, respectively. The activity of polyphenol oxidase was significantly 'good performer' in HA + Zn + B followed by HA and HA + B application. There are significant and positive correlation of starch with some physiological characteristics such as leaf area, number of fruits plant-1 , fruit diameter and total chlorophyll. The correlation of energy value with carbohydrates, fat, protein, total chlorophyll and leaf area were positive and significant. Based on principle component analysis and considering average values of all variables, our results suggested that the good promising treatment in HA + Zn followed by Zn + B, HA + Zn + B and Zn alone application may bring about the proper value addition in quality as well as productivity of crop by enhancing the some physiological and biochemical characteristics in pungent pepper.
