Effect of various concentration of zinc and boron on growth and yield attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. moench) cv. pusa sawani

The present investigation entitled ‘’ Effect of micro-nutrient on growth flowering and yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) cv. Pusa Sawani’’ was carried out during the summer season in 2009 at Horticulture research farm department of Horticulture Choudhary Charan Singh University Campus Meerut (UP). The experiment was laidout in randomized block design (RBD) with different concentration of Zn and B as well as nine different treatment combinations were used. From the results it was found that the treatment of Zinc and Boron @100 ppm significantly increased the height of plant, number of leaves per plant. When Zinc and Boron @100 ppm were applied separately the okra took only 42 days for the appearance of first flower and 46 days for days taken for appearance of first pod in comparison to treatment @ 50 ppm Zn and Boron which take(43, and 48)and (42.5 and 46.7 days) respectively. Thus the results clearly indicates that Zn and Boron (Zn and B) individually as well as in combination (Zn X B) significantly affected different growth and yield attributes.
