Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of foliar and soil application of iron, zinc and boron on yield and quality of fig (Ficus carica L.) cv. Deanna. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Results were found to be significant in most of yield and quality contributing parameters of fig. The number of fruits per tree (247), fruit length (7.03 cm), fruit diameter (5.30 cm), average fruit weight (56.1 g), fruit yield per tree (13.8 kg), yield (55.5 tha-1), TSS (22.28%) and reducing sugar (16.41%) were increased significantly due to application of FeSO4 + ZnSO4 each @ 20 kg ha-1 + borax @ 5 kg ha-1 at pruning along with recommended dose of fertilizer (50 kg FYM + 900:225:300 of N:P2O5:K2O per tree). On the contrary, the minimum acidity (0.15%) was recorded in the same treatment. The application of micronutrients either through soil or foliar application did not influenced the non reducing sugar content of fig fruit.
