ABSTRACT
A field investigation was carried out during 2015-2016 at farmer field, lower pulney hills of Tamilnadu. The experiment was conducted in RBD with 15 treatment consisting of different combination of ZnSO4 (0.2%), FeSO4 (0.2%), H3BO4 (0.2%), MnSO4 (0.3%) and CuSO4 (0.4%) which is replicated 3 times. The results showed that foliar application of micronutrient alone or in combination significantly enhanced the major nutrient status N and K of mandarin orange leaves except phosphorous.
Keywords: Mandarin orange, Micro-nutrients, Foliar application, Leaf nutrient status.
