Abstract

Peaches are produced in different climatic regions of Pakistan. Peach growth and yield is affected by
many factors but nutrition is the most influential element in this regard as nutrients tend to improve photosynthetic
efficiency. This two years (2018, 2019) study was performed to evaluate the foliar application of
micronutrients on quality and yield features of nine years old peach cv. Early Grand by using five combinations of
micronutrients (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2% each of ZnSO4, FeSO4, H3BO3 and CuSO4). Physio-chemical analysis of
soil was done before the application of micronutrients.
