Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Foliar fertilizer treatments significantly affected tomato yield and yield traits relative to soil B and Zn application.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn and B produced maximum fruit yield in 2014.
- Observation Control fruit yield was 66.8 and 60.7 t ha-1 in 2013 and 2014.
- Intervention effect Control yield was statistically identical to soil B and Zn application.
- Intervention effect Foliar application increased yield by 19.2 to 31.1% over control.
- Intervention effect Foliar application increased yield by 7.57 to 18.3% over soil application.
- Recommendation The authors recommend combining foliar micronutrients and soil macronutrients to enhance tomato yield.
