Abstract
An experiment was carried out the study of effect of micronutrient on leaf nutrition of banana cv. Grand Nain at Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University Navsari (Gujarat) during the year 2005. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with nine treatment combinations involving two levels of chelated and non chelated (iron 25 and 50 gm and zinc 20 and 40 gm per plant) micro elements with common application of MnSO4, CuSO4 and borax (20, 5 and 10 gm per plant, respectively) expect control. The higher nitrogen and iron content in leaves were recorded under the plants treated with higher levels of FeEDTA with common application of micro-elements. However, the higher percentage of phosphorus, zinc, manganese and copper content in leaves were recorded in the treatments of higher ZnEDTA with common application of MnSO4, CuSO4 and Borax.
