Abstract
The present investigation entitled "Studies on effect of foliar application of micronutrients on yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.)" Var. Sardar was conducted in a well-established guava orchard of 9 years old Sardar guava trees planted at 5×5 m having uniform growth and productivity at the Instructional-cum-Research Farm, Department of Horticulture,College of Agriculture, Latur, during mrig bahar 2015-16.The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eleven treatments replicated thrice.A wide range of variations in cost of cultivation, monetary returns and benefit: cost ratio were observed due to foliar application of different micronutrients. The highest gross monetary returns per tree (Rs.1422.80) and per hectare (Rs.5,68,800) were obtained in treatment (T7) Zinc sulphate @ 1%. The highest net monetary returns per tree (Rs.1207) and per hectare (Rs.4,82,680) were obtained in the treatment (T7) zinc sulphate @ 1% .The highest B:C ratio was recorded in treatment (T7) Zinc sulphate @ 1% .The minimum values for all these parameters were observed in control (T1) treatment.
