Abstract: The experiment was carried at Agriculture Farm, School of Agricultural Sciences & Technology, RIMT University, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab, India. This investigation was done to study the effect of ZnSO4 and B on growth, fruiting and yield parameters of tomato under protected structureduring 2020-21. The experimental material for the study comprised of three micronutrients with three concentrations (Zn 25, 50 & 75 ppm; B 25, 50, 75 ppm) and one control. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The Tomato variety Heemsohna was used. All the required parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically.
Keywords: Micro nutrients, ZnSO4, B, Tomato and Heemsohna
