Comparative Effect of Foliar Application on Micronutrients Content in Peach Leaf and Fruit
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
A field trial was conducted to study the effect of foliar spray on the micronutrients accumulation in peach leaves and fruits at Horticulture Farm, The University of Agriculture, Peshawar during March, 2010. The experiment was conducted in RCB design with six foliar treatments and four replications on peach orchards (Early Grand variety). Soil samples were collected before spray for analysis of physico-chemical properties. The soil was silt loam, alkaline, calcareous, adequate in soil organic matter and deficient in P. The concentration of micronutrients in leaf and fruits was determined after foliar spray and compared with critical limits. The micronutrient content in leaf and fruit was significantly (P≤0.05) increased after spray. All micronutrients were adequate in leaf rather than fruit. The accumulation of micronutrients in leaf was higher as compared to fruit.
