The effect of micronutrients on improvement of yield and fruit quality viz., juice, TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid content was significant over control except for yield. The Zn (0.5%)+ B (0.4%) treatment was found better in all the respects. The rootstock capacity of Karna Khatta was slightly better over Troyer citrange for yield, fruit weight, fruit juice and ascorbic acid content. However, improved TSS content and lowered acidity was observed in Troyer citrange. The interaction effect was better on Zn + B treatment for fruit yield, fruit weight, juice percentage and ascorbic acid on Karna Khatta; while for high TSS and low acidity was registered on Troyer citrange with the same treatment.
