Effect of zinc and boron on nutrient uptake pattern in mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.)

Abstract

The present experiment on mango ginger was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications during 2018-19 in College of Horticulture, Mudigere. The experiment consisted of nine different treatment combinations which comprises two micronutrients (Zn and B) at 3 levels (0, 5 and 10 kg / ha) in all possible combinations. The experimental findings evident that the treatment T9 (ZnSO4 10 kg / ha + Borax 10 kg / ha) was found better with respect to uptake of N, P, K, Zn and B by leaves and rhizomes. However, least nutrient content in leaves and rhizome was recorded in T1 (Control).
