Abstract
Crossandra is an important commercial loose flower crop which is a herbaceous perennial ever green, semi shrub, It is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae. The present investigation was carried out in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar during 2019-2020 in Randomized Block Design with eleven treatments and three replications. Eleven treatment combinations were formed for foliar application of micronutrients viz., T1 – RDF + 0.2% ZnSO4, T2 – RDF + 0.2% FeSO4, T3 – RDF + 0.2% MgSO4, T4 – RDF + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% MgSO4, T5 – RDF + 0.2% ZnSO4 + 0.2% FeSO4, T6 – RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4, T7 - RDF + 0.5% FeSO4, T8 – RDF + 0.5% MgSO4, T9 – RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% MgSO4, T10 – RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 and T11 - RDF + water spray (Control) were studied on different micronutrient. The effect of treatments was studied based on their biometric observations viz., days taken to first flowering, number of spikes per plant, spike length (cm), number of flowers per spike, hundred flower weight (g), length of individual flower (cm), flower yield per plant (g), flower yield per plot (g) and flower yield per hectare (q). Among the eleven treatments, T10 exhibited maximum value followed by T5 for all characters except number of spikes per plant. In respect to number of spikes per plant, the maximum value was achieved by T5 followed by T10.
