Abstract:
In 2016–2017, a field study named "Effect of foliar application of borax and zinc sulphate on growth, yield, and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Gwalior-27" was conducted at Agrotechnology Park, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, College of Agriculture, Gwalior (M.P.). There were nine treatments in the trial, each with two amounts of zinc sulfate (0.4 and 0.6%) and borax (0.2 and 0.4%). Three replications and factorial randomized block design were used to set up the experiment. In terms of guava growth and yield characteristics, treatment B2Z2 (Borax at 0.4% & Zinc sulfate at 0.6%) was found to be considerably better than the control across various foliar spray nutrient dosages.
