Cassava is one of the important tuber crops grown in marginal lands for its edible tuberous roots. Besides macro nutrient deficiencies, some micronutrient deficiencies are observed in cassava. To overcome those micronutrient deficiencies as well as to increase the cassava tuber yield and tuber quality, a field experiment was laid out during 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Dr. YSRHU - Horticultural Research Station, Peddapuram with eight treatments in randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that the significant differences were observed between the treatments for all studied characters. The maximum plant height and stem girth were observed in T7 (POP + MgSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + ZnSO4 @12.5 kg ha-1 + Borax @10 kg ha-1 @ 20 kg ha-1 + FeSO4 (0.5 % stake dipping)). The maximum tuber yield per hectare and starch content were also recorded in T7 with 42.59 t/ha and 27.63 per cent followed by T6 (POP + MgSO4 + ZnSO4 + Borax) with 38.29 t/ha and T5 (POP + FeSO4 (0.5 % stake dipping) with 27.26 per cent respectively. The highest B:C ratio was recorded for T7 whereas it was lowest for T8 (Absolute control).
