Effects of foliar application of zinc and boron on growth and yield of summer tomato

Abstract: To increase the yield of BARI hybrid tomato 4, cultivated in summer season . Maximum plant height (106.9 cm), number of leaves (68.9/plant), leaf area (48.2 cm 2 ), number of branches (11.9/plant), number of clusters (21.6/plant), number of fruits (1.8/clusters and 33.6/plant), fruit length (5.3 cm), fruit diameter (5.1 cm), single fruit weight (60.4 g) and yield (1.9 kg/plant, 25.7 kg/plot and 58.3 t/ha) were found from foliar application of 12.5-ppm ZnSO4 + 12.5-ppm H3BO3 while minimum from control.

“…Zinc is a essential micronutrient which responsible for maximizes fruit set and higher yield. Similar results were reported by Ali et al (2015) in tomato where significantly increased yield of fruits per plant (1.9 kg) with increasing concentration of zinc at 25 ppm as compared to other treatments.…”

“…Similar results were also reported by Vinod ), Basavarajeswari et al, (2008, Sivaiah et al, (2013), Banerjee et al, (2016), Praveen , Ali et al, (2015), Acharya et al, (2015) and Parmer et al, (2016) in different crops. Plant height may be increased due to application of zinc which plays major role in synthesis of auxin besides the association of boron with development of cell wall and cell differentiation which helps in root and shoot growth of plants (Basavarajeswari et al, 2008;Sharma and Grewal, 1988).…”

“…Makhan et al [13] reported that Zinc may serve as source of energy for synthesis of auxin which helps in elongation of stem. Ali et al [14] conducted an experiment to increase the yield of BARI hybrid tomato 4, cultivated in summer season of Bangladesh, foliar application of zinc and boron and supported the similar results.…”
