Abstract

A field experiment was conducted tostudy the response of biofertilizers (Azospirillum and PSB), GA3 and micronutrient mixture grade 4 on yield and economics of sapota trees at FRS, Gandevi (Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari). Results of the experiment revealed that applicationof 75% RDF + Biofertilizers (Azospirillum + PSB)@40 ml/tree +GA3 @ 50 ppm+ micronutrient mixture Grade 4 @ 0.5% resulted in significantly higher fruit weight, no. of fruits per tree, yield (kg/tree) and yield (t/ha) with highest benefit cost ratio of 4.45 in sapota cv. Kalipatti.
