Abstract: An experiment was conducted during 2014-15 to assess the performance of Kinnow mandarin to soil and foliar mode of micronutrients application. The study comprised of six treatments, viz., T₁- FeSO₄ 42g + MnSO₄ 21g + ZnSO₄ 14g, T₂- FeSO₄ 84g + MnSO₄ 42g + ZnSO₄ 28g, T₃- FeSO₄ 126g + MnSO₄ 63g + ZnSO₄ 42g, T₄- FeSO₄ 168g + MnSO₄ 84g + ZnSO₄ 56g, T₅- Foliar spray of 0.5% each of FeSO₄, MnSO₄, ZnSO₄ + 1% Urea and T₆- Control (No micronutrients). Four treatments (T₁ to T₄) were applied through soil in four equal splits. Foliar spray was also performed four times during soil application of micronutrients. All micronutrients treated plants produced higher magnitude of growth and fruit yield over control. However, foliar application of micronutrients produced significantly higher number of fruits, fruit weight, juice content, and fruit yield (28.9 t ha^-1) compared to other treatments.
