Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, during 2018. The soil of the experimental site was sandy loam with pH 6.2. The treatments comprised of foliar application of individual and combined nutrients
viz. Boron, Molybdenum, Manganese and Zinc. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The variety used was “Hajipur Early”. All the treatments uniformly received 120 kg N, 80 kg P
2O
5 and 50 kg K
2O per hectare. Results revealed that plant height, number of leaves per plant, stem length, stem diameter, plant spread, leaf area index and marketable yield of cauliflower, all were found significantly higher in the combined foliar application of 0.2% Borax + 0.5% Manganese sulphate + 0.1% Ammonium molybdate.
