Abstract: Field experiment was carried out to study the effect of foliar application of micronutrient on cost of economics of mandarin orange. The foliar application of ZnSO4 (0.2%), FeSO4 (0.2%), H3BO4 (0.2%), MnSO4 (0.3%) and CuSO4 (0.4%), sprayed alone or in combination with control (water spray) were used at three different stages such as vegetative, flowering and fruit set. The result showed the maximum score for rind colour (3.56), shape (4.00), flavor (3.82),taste (3.89) and Over all acceptability (3.82) was observed in T11 ZnSO4 (0.2%) + FeSO4 (0.2%) + H3BO4 (0.2%) of rind colour (3.76), shape (4.20), flavor (4.12),taste (4.40) and Over all acceptability (4.12) and lowest was observed in T1 (Control) rind colour (1.99), shape (2.00), flavor (2.00),taste (2.02) and Over all acceptability (2.00).
