ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of multi-micronutrients mixture grades on seed yield of lucerne (cv. Anand-2) during rabi seasons of 2009-10 to 2011-12 at the Main Forage Research Station, AAU, Anand. The experiment consisted of seven treatment in a randomized block design with four replications. The results revealed that for getting maximum quality seed production and net monetary return the lucerne crop on soils having marginal Zn and deficient Fe status are advised to apply 25 kg ZnSO4 and 50 kg FeSO4 per ha every year besides application of 20:40:40 kg NPK/ha.
Key words :
Lucerne, Multi-micronutrients mixture, Seed and straw yield.
