Effect of micronutrient fertilization on brinjal fruit yield in an alfisol

Abstract

                                The soil application of microfood/ straight micronutrients recorded higher brinjal fruit yield compared to the foliar application. The highest fruit yield was recorded by the combined application of stanes microfood (soil), composted coirpith and Azospirillum. The yield increase was 20.0, 25.6 and 32.1 per cent over NPK respectively for the application of stanes microfood (soil applied) with NPK / SMF with NPK + CCP / MF with NPK + CCP+ Azo. The application of NPK alone recorded a lower yield of 174.41 g plant and the control recorded the lowest yield of 159.0 g plant-1

Key words : Micronutrients, Composted coirpith, Azospirillum, Red non-calcareous soil, Brinjal, Fruit yield
