 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at research farm of the department of seed science and technology, CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana, to study the plant growth characters as influenced by varying levels of iron sulphate, zinc sulphate and boric acid. Treatments comprising of soil application of FeSO4 (5, 7.5 and 10 kg/ha), ZnSO4 (3, 4 and 5 kg/ha) and H3BO3 (2, 3 and 4 kg/ha) and foliar application of FeSO4 (0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 %) , ZnSO4(0.4,0.5 and 0.6 %) and H3BO3 (0.2,0.3 and 0.4 %) were studied in factorial randomized block design with four replications. Foliar application of micronutrients was done at 45 and 90 DAS. A perusal of data revealed that fresh weight and dry weight per plant increased progressively with advancement in crop stage (60 DAS, 105 DAS and at harvest) irrespective of treatments and it was maximum at harvest during both the years. Maximum fresh weight at all the stages of growth (15.25, 31.72 and 47.25 g respectively) and dry weight (5.10, 7.72 and 17.69g) was recorded with the soil application of 5 kg zinc sulphate/ha (T7). The highest number of branches per plant (10.29) and maximum plant height (130.63 cm) was observed with the soil application of 5 kg zinc sulphate/ha where as lowest was recorded in control (T1).

Keywords: Coriander, Growth, Micronutrient, Zinc sulphate, Iron sulphate, Boric acid
