Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during the year 2020-2021 was undertaken at the Central Research Field, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments and 3 replications they are as follows : T0 : RDF (Control), T1 : ZnSO4 2% + RDF (50%), T2 : FeSO4 2% + RDF (50%), T3 : CuSO4 2% + RDF (50%), T4 : ZnSO4 1% + FeSO4 1% + RDF (50%), T5 : ZnSO4 1% + CuSO4 1% + RDF (75%), T6 : ZnSO4 2% + FeSO4 2% + RDF (50%), T7 : ZnSO4 2% + CuSO4 2% + RDF (75%), T8 : ZnSO4 1% + FeSO4 1% + CuSO4 1% + RDF (75%) and T9 : ZnSO4 2% + FeSO4 2% + CuSO4 2% + RDF (100%). The main objective is to find out the most suitable treatment combination on plant growth and establishment of Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) c.v. Mosambi and to assess the effective treatment combination on survival percentage of Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) c.v. Mosambi. From the present investigation it is found that the treatment T9 ZnSO4 2% + FeSO4 2% + CuSO4 2% + RDF (100%) was su

Conclusion

From the present investigation, it is concluded that T9 ZnSO4 2% + FeSO4 2% + CuSO4 2% + RDF (100%) resulted in the highest vegetative growth parameters like survival percentage, plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant, leaf area, plant spread, chlorophyll content in leaves and stem girth.
