Abstract: Field experiment was carried out to study the effect of foliar application of micronutrient on cost of economics of mandarin orange. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with fifteen treatments replicated thrice at farmer’s field (TVSN Veerna estate), Kanalkadu, Thadiyankudisai, Lower Pulney Hills during 2014-2016. The treatment comprised of ZnSO4 (0.2%), FeSO4 (0.2%), H3BO4 (0.2%), MnSO4 (0.3%) and CuSO4 (0.4%), sprayed at three different stages such as vegetative, flowering and fruit set. The economics suggested that foliar application of ZnSO4 (0.2%) + FeSO4 (0.2%) + H3BO4 (0.2%) + MnSO4 (0.3%) + CuSO4 (0.4%) registered the highest benefit cost ratio of 2.10 followed by ZnSO4 (0.2%) + FeSO4 (0.2%) + H3BO4 (0.2%) benefit cost ratio of 1.92 and lowest benefit cost ratio 1.12 was observed in ZnSO4 (0.2%).
