Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of micro-nutrients on flower production, pollen viability, seed yield and quality. Pollen viability and number of flowers plant-1 were maximum with soil (10 kg ha-1) and foliar (0.1% twice) application of borax. Combined application of borax through soil and foliage recorded the highest percentage of seed recovery (1.02%) and 100-seed weight (240 mg). Micronutrient application showed their superiority over control in the resultant seeds in terms of germination and vigour.
