Balanced nutrition is very Important for high yield, quality and resistance to diseases, however very few farmers use micro nutrient fertilizers. Due to low organic matter in Indian soil, excessive use of DAP and Introduction of high yielding cultivars and fast growing tissue culture plants, deficiency of micronutrients has become a major problem. But soil degradation, poor root health and excessive use of phosphorous has made correction of nutrient disorders through soil very difficult. The efficiency of utilisation of soil applied micro nutrient is only 3 to 5%. Hence, “Vegetable Special” foliar spray as a part of Integrated Nutrient Management has become important in enhancing the yield and quality of Vegetables.
