Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Boron 2 kg/ha plus zinc 4.5 kg/ha soil application gave the highest tuber yield per hill in potato (2888.52 grams).
- Intervention effect Boron 2 kg/ha plus zinc 4.5 kg/ha soil application gave the highest productivity in potato (27.51 ton/ha).
- Intervention effect Zinc 4.5 kg/ha soil application gave a result similar to the highest tuber yield in potato.
- Intervention effect Boron 2 kg/ha plus zinc 4.5 kg/ha soil application gave significantly high plant height in potato at 45 and 60 DAP.
- Intervention effect Boron 2 kg/ha plus zinc 4.5 kg/ha soil application gave significantly high number of branches in potato at 45 and 60 DAP.
- Intervention effect Boron 2 kg/ha plus zinc 4.5 kg/ha soil application gave significantly high number of leaves per plant in potato at 45 and 60 DAP.
- Intervention effect Soil application of only boron increased total tuber yield in potato by 10.23% over the control.
- Intervention effect Soil application of only zinc increased total tuber yield in potato by 24.66% over the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of only boron increased total tuber yield in potato by 4.22% over the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of only zinc increased total tuber yield in potato by 2.07% over the control.
- Intervention effect Combined foliar application of boron and zinc increased total tuber yield in potato by 12.37% over the control.
- Recommendation Combined soil application of zinc and boron at 4.5 kg/ha and 2 kg/ha is recommended over foliar and solitary micronutrient application for increasing the number of medium and large potato tubers.
