Abstract

Studies on the effect of different secondary nutrients in different doses on the quantity and quality of leaves of Terminalia arjunaunder 4’ x 4’ spacing revealed that secondary nutrients have promotary effect in increasing the quantity and quality of leaves of tasar food plant T. arjuna. Among all the treatments under study, foliar application of Magnesium sulphate (2%, w/v) is the best in respect of increasing the quantity and quality of leaves of T. arjuna. Under this treatment, leaf yield increased by 26.20% over control. Chemoassay and bioassay results also confirmed a significant improvement in the quality of leaf by the application of the said treatment.
