Effect of split application of fertilizers and multi-micronutrient mixture on growth and yield of pomegranate cv. Bhagwa

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of split application of fertilizers and multi-micronutrient mixture on growth and yield parameters of pomegranate cv. Bhagwa. The selected trees were applied with different split doses of fertilizers and foliar sprayed with different concentrations of micronutrient mixture in the crop of Ambe bahar during the year 2018. The treatments comprised of four levels of fertilizers split (S) viz., S1= No split, S2= Two splits, S3= Three splits and S4= Four splits and two different levels of multi-micronutrient mixture (M) viz., M1= Foliar spray at 0.5% and M2= Foliar spray at 1.0%. Among the different treatments, application of fertilizers in four splits and foliar application of micronutrient mixture @ 1.0% found superior in various growth and yield parameters.
