EFFECT OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF MICRONUTRIENTS (Zn & B) ON FRUIT QUALITY CHARACTERS OF MANGO (<i>MANGIFERA INDICA</i>) VAR. LANGRA
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of foliar application of micro-nutrients i.e. Boric acid (H3BO3) and Zinc Sulphate (ZnSO4) on the fruit quality characters of Mango ( Mangifera indica L.) var. Langra. Maximum value for (TSS) Total Soluble Solids (18.50%) was observed in treatment (T4)1% H3BO3 + 1.2% ZnSO4 followed by (18.25%) in treatment (T1) 0.8% H3BO3 and in treatment (T6) 1.2% ZnSO4 it was (17.57%) respectively. The maximum amount of Vitamin-C (54.3 mg/100g) was measured in the treatment (T4) as compared to control (94.7 mg/100g). Maximum Total Sugars (51.08%) were found in (T5) 1% ZnSO4 as compared to control (45.0%).Whereas, Reducing Sugars were in non-significant range but found highest (19.30%) in (T1).
