Abstract
This experiment evaluated the impact of foliar application of PDKV grade II micronutrients on growth and yield of watermelon. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three time of foliar applications(30, 40, and 50 DAT) and four levels of micronutrients (control, 2.5 ml/L, 5.0 ml/L and 10.0 ml/L) having twelve treatment combinations replicated thrice. Results found that the growth parameters viz., maximum length of vine (236.47 cm), number of leaves per vine (238.33) and chlorophyll index (62.14), lowest node at which first male (2.53) and female (7.47) flower appeared, minimum days to first male (26.47 days) and female (36.13 days) flower appearance and narrow male to female flower ratio (9.11) were recorded significantly in foliar application of 5 ml/L micronutrients at 30 DAT (D1M2) and yield parameters viz., maximum number of fruits per vine (2.90), average fruit weight (3.39 kg), fruit yield per vine (9.84 kg) and yield per hectare (492.07 q/ha)whereas minimum days required for edible maturity (71.91 days) were recorded in treatment combination of foliar application of 5 ml/L micronutrients at 30 DAT (D1M2). The lowest values for growth and yield parameters were recorded in control (D1M0).
