Cultivating excellence: A comprehensive study on the impact of zinc and boron soil and foliar application on fruit crops performance: A review

Abstract

The objective of this review paper for study the impact of zinc and boron nutrition in fruit crops regarding to growth, yield and quality in nutritional requirement of plants. The trace amounts of plants that is required. The two primary micronutrients needed in varying amounts by various fruit cultivars are zinc and boron. A portion of the micronutrient requirements are satisfied by the soil, chemical fertilizers and other sources. These mineral nutrients control a number of bodily and metabolic processes. By analysing soil and leaf characteristics, crop growth and previous cropping data, growers may determine the nutritional requirements of fruit plants. Two crucial micronutrients needed for plant growth and development are zinc and boron. Previously given very little thought in plant nutrition practices, soil scientists and plant physiologists are now paying close attention to this group. Plant demands for zinc and boron can be met by applying granular/borax and zinc sulphate to the soil either before planting or as a soil treatment during the growing season. Energy transmission, nitrogen metabolism and oxidation-reduction processes all depend on zinc. In particular, boron is needed for enzymatic activities, photosynthesis, chlorophyll production, pollen germination and fruit sugar content. Moreover, it controls how proteins and carbohydrates are metabolized. Although there are other approaches to address zinc and boron deficiencies in the field, soil application is the most effective and straightforward one. The current review focuses specifically on how applying zinc and boron to the soil and foliar effects the growth, yield and quality of fruit crops.
