Abstract:

Experiment was conducted to know the response of nutrients on fruit character and its influence on enhancing yield and quality and also on accumulation of nutrients in leaf. Potassium silicate, calcium silicate was taken as silicon source and solubor as boron and kiecite-G were used as micronutrient source. Fruit characters like fruit weight (99.96 g), fruit length (5.55 g), fruit diameter (5.85 g),

Keywords:

Silicon, Micro nutrients, Nutrient content, Sapota
