Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Agriculture and Forestry University > Volume 3 (2019) . - 63-68 p. Title : Effects of foliar application of urea and micronutrients on yield and fruit quality of Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) Material Type: printed text Authors: P. R. Rokaya, Author ; D. R. Baral, Author ; D. M. Gautam, Author ; Shrestha; A.K., Author ; K. P. Paudyal, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 63-68 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Fruit industry, management, minerals, ascorbic acid Abstract: Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) occupies a prominent position in the total fruit industry of Nepal. However, production performance of mandarin has been declined over the last ten years, mainly due to improper nutrient management practices, and has remained as low as 9 t per hectare. This study was done to analyze the effect of foliar application of urea and micronutrients on yield and quality of mandarin. Accordingly, an experiment was done using a Randomized Complete Block design, having four treatments, each replicated four times viz: T1 -control, T2 -urea 2%, T3 -micronutrient (Agromin) 0.4%, and, T4 -urea 2%+micronutrient (Agromin) 0.4%). Spraying of urea, or Agromin alone, or, in combination had a significantly (p and most of the minerals whereas combined application of urea at 2% and micronutrients (Agromin) at 0.4% had further better performance on these parameters compared to the rest. Thus, two times foliar application of urea alone, and, or in combination with micronutrients could be an effective practice in getting the maximum productivity as well as the fruit quality of mandarin.
