A study was conduct to investigate the effect of micronutrients on flowering and yield attributes like, number of flowers, fruit set, fruit drop, number fruits per shoot, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant and yield per hectare in 20 years old trees of acid lime cv. Kagzi lime, under Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, saurastra region of Gujarat during 2013-14. Results indicated that zinc, boron and iron (Z1B1F1) were increased number of flowers (22.37), fruit set (49.33%), number of fruits per shoot (8.53), number of fruits per plant (925.00), fruit yield (27.07 kg/ plant & 74.97qt/ ha) and minimum fruit drop (24.33%) in treated trees over non-treated trees at full bloom stage. Our results suggested that effect of combination of zinc, boron, and iron on acid lime cv. Kagzi lime to increased yield parameters
