Effect of micronutrients and methods of application on Broccoli

The requirement of micronutrients is supplied either through foliar spraying or soil application. But, from an ecological perspective, foliar fertilization is more acceptable, because the small amounts of nutrients is used for rapid use by plants and it also paved for new approaches like nano foliar application. And also, foliar applications have several benefits including the quality of harvested crops during pre- and post-harvest production of biofortified food crops and plant nutrition as well as its protection. In perspectives, experiment was conducted to know the effect of microelement on growth, yield and quality of Palam Samridhi variety of broccoli. Looking to the significance of micronutrients, their methods of application on a very important crop, future scope and heavy demand of broccoli for the domestic and export business, a field trial entitled Effect of different micronutrients and their methods of application on growth, yield and quality of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) cv. Palam Samridhi was planned.
