Abstract
The experiment was conducted during summer, 2024 at the Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, and Gujarat. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications and nine treatments, i.e. T₁ - Ammonium molybdate @ 0.1%, T₂ - Boric acid @ 0.2%, T₃ - Zinc sulphate @ 0.5%, T₄ - Copper sulphate @ 0.5%, T₅ - Ferrous sulphate @ 0.5%, T₆ - Manganese sulphate @ 0.5%, T₇ - General grade-IV @ 1.5%, T₈ - General grade-IV @ 1.5% + T₃ and T₉ - Control (no spray). Foliar applications of micronutrients were given at 25 DAS and 40 DAS using a knapsack sprayer during morning hours. The effect of foliar application of micronutrients was found significant on growth and quality parameters of okra. Among all the treatments T8, recorded maximum plant height (66.41 cm and 90.29 cm) at 60 DAS and at final harvest, respectively; internodal length (5.50 cm), stem girth (5.97 cm), Ascorbic acid content (16.14 mg/100g) and chlorophyll content (2.84 mg/100g).
