The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The observations on srowth attribute~ viz. height of.plant, number of branches per plant, spread of plant and stem girth, : Effect on flowering viz. days required to first flowering, days required to 50% flowering and days to first harvesting.: effect on fruits viz. length of fruit, diameter df fruit, pericarp thickness, fruit stalk length, weight of seed per fruit and seed recovery percentage.: effect on quality viz. fruit colour, fruit shape, fruit texture and seed colour.: effect on yield attributes viz. number of fruits per plant, weight of fruit per plant, yield per plot and yield per hectare.: effect on insect pest incidence were recorded. Significantly maximum height of plant (83 .13cm), number of branches . 2 per plant (19.07), spread of plant (793.67cm ) and stem girth (4.38cm) were recorded by the foliar application ofNAA@ 25 and 50 ppm, respectively. The minimum days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering and days 0 to first harvesting recorded by foliar application of Ethephon@ 50 and 100 ppm. The maximum length of fruit, diameter of fruit, pericarp thickness, fruit stalk length, weight of seed per fruit and seed recovery percentage were obtained by application ofNAA@ 25 and 50 ppm. The minimum incidence of insect and pest recorded by application of2, 4-D@ 5 and 10 ppm. Present investigation indicated that, the highest yield ( q/ha) and B: C ratio with good quality of chilli fruit should be obtained by foliar application of NAA@ 25 and 10 ppm.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill) cv. Phule raja(Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, 2009-05-30) Patil, Vishal Kiran; Yadlod, S.S.The investigation entitled, "Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cv. Phule Raja" was carried out at Instructional-cum Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur during kharif 2008-09. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments. The vegetative growth parameters like height of plant, number of branches and number of compound leaves per plant were influenced significantly due to different treatments. The maximum height ofplant (104.13 em) was recorded in treatment Boron 50 ppm + Iron 100 ppm + Zinc 100 ppm while the maximum number of branches (12.60) and number of compound leaves (32.00) per plant were recorded by Boron 50 ppm. The minimum values of plant height, number of branches and number of compound leaves per plant were observed in control. The minimum number of days (30.00) for initiation of flowering and 50 %flowering (38.86) were recorded with Boron 50 ppm and 100 ppm while the maximum number of days were recorded in control. The treatment Boron 1 00 ppm + Iron 200 ppm + Zinc 200 ppm was most effective in increasing number of clusters (13.85) and number of flowers (51.24) per plant while number of flowers (3.80) per cluster and percent fruit setting (47.76 %) was ncreased in treatment Boron 50 ppm + Iron 100 ppm + Zinc 100 ppm. The maximum fruit length (5.83 em) and volume (65.73 ml) was recorded in treatment Boron 100 ppm + Iron 200 ppm + Zinc 200 ppm while breadth (5.30 em) and weight (86.60 g) was recorded in treatment Boron 50 ppm + Iron 100 ppm + Zinc 100 ppm. The minimum values were observed in control. The combination of Boron 50 ppm + Iron 100 ppm + Zinc 100 ppm was most effective in increasing the number of fruits (23.88), number of marketable fruits (20.34), yield (2.07 kg), weight of marketable fruits (1.76 kg) per plant, yield per hectare (57.50 MT) and minimum number of unmarketable fruits (3.54) was recorded. The combine application of Boron 50 ppm + Iron 100 ppm+ Zinc 100 ppm was most effective for improving T.S.S. (3 .82° Brix) and lowest acidity (0.27 %) of tomato fruit.Therefore, on the basis of results obtained in present studies, it is suggested that the combine application of Boron 50 ppm + Iron 100 ppm+ Zinc 100 ppm was most effective for growth, yield and quality of tomato cv. Phule Raja.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on varietal performance of bitter gourd (momordica charantia L.)
