Description Not Available
Deficiency of boron (B), molybdenum (Mo)
and zinc (Zn) is a major factor constraining crop production
on acidic soils of Northeast India; yet these nutrients
are conventionally not included in fertilizer recommendation
for crop production. To assess the criticality of
micronutrients’ application on these soils, we conducted a
greenhouse experiment on an acid Alfisol where French
bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), a micronutrient-sensitive
crop, was grown with seven combinations of macro- and
micronutrients. The beneficial effect of micronutrients on
crop yield was mediated mostly through their effect on
seed and pod characteristics, and general improvement in
crop health and nutrition as reflected by improved SPAD
index.
