Abstract
Investigation was carried out at the Horticulture Farm, of the Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand, during the year 1981-82; to assess the effect of foliar applications of zinc and iron on the growth and chlorophyll as well as mineral nutrient contents of the Kagzilime seedlings. Foliar sprays of 0.5 per cent ZnSO4 and 0.5 per cent FeSO4 were found more effective compared with 1.0 per cent level of both for number of morphological characters like plant height (at initial stage), number of branches and number of leaves (at the time of obtaining saleable plant) as well as chemical composition of Kagzilime seedlings like total chlorophyll content, potash content, zinc content, ferrous content and manganese content.
