dc.description.abstractA field experiment was conducted to study the effect of boron and zinc on fruit yield of okra [Abelomoschus eleculentus (L.) Moench]" at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar in sandy loam soil under semi-arid conditions during rainy season of 2006-07. Five levels of zinc sulphate (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 kg/ha) and four levels of borax (0, 5, 10 and 15 kg/ha) along with recommended dose of NPK (100:50:50 kg/ha) were applied in the soil as basal dose before sowing the seeds. The crop was sown in 2.8x2.5 in size plots at a spacing of 60 cm between rows and 30 cm between plants in a randomized block design with 3 replications. The soil application of zinc sulphate as source of zinc and borax as source of boron significantly influenced all the characters under study. Plant height, number of branches per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, average fruit weight and fruit yield were recorded maximum with treatment combination of zinc sulphate 40 kg/ha and borax 15 kg/ha. The protein content of okra fruits increased with the increased level of zinc sulphate and borax as well, and the maximum content of protein was found with the highest levels of zinc sulphate (40.0 kg/ha) and boron (15.0 kg/ha) application in soil independently and in combination. Combination of zinc sulphate (30 kg/ha) and. borax (15 kg/ha) increased the contents of chlorophyll 'a', chlorophyll ‘b’ and total chlorophyll to its maximum. The fruit yield demonstrated highly significant positive correlation with all the growth and yield contributing attributes.en_US
