摘要：This experiment was carried out to investigate the plant performance of tomato var. Manisha under foliar spray of zinc and boron in Randomized Complete Blocked Design with five treatments and four replications. The treatments were control (T0), two levels of chelated zinc (T1:30 ppm and T2:60 ppm), and the two levels of borax (T3:30 ppm and T4:60 ppm) applied in two installments (15 and 35 DAT by foliar spray). The results showed significance increase in parameters such as plant height (86 cm), plant leaves number (52.47), branches number (8.21), clusters number (19.32), fruits number (22.73), fruit diameter (5.58 cm), fruit weight (59.71 gm) and yield (56.56 t/ha) with the foliar application of chelated zinc at the dose of 30 ppm. Furthermore, early flowering (23.70 days) was observed at borax 30 ppm concentration. The results can recommend the tomato growers to apply chelated zinc and borax at the dosages of 30 ppm which denotes use of 30 mg per liter. The results clearly depict the potential increase in yield and other parameters of tomato cv. Manisha, using easily available source of zinc and boron, i.e. chelated zinc and borax.
