The field demonstrations were carried out during 2016-17 in Rabi season to know effect of zinc and boron on yield of brinjal at total 10 farmers from Bharuch district. The production of brinjal is quite low in some part of the district due poor soil fertility status and imbalance fertilizer application by farmer. There was complete absence of micronutrients application to the crop. The initial soil analysis data showed deficiency of zinc and boron in experimental soil. Thus, to compare effect and method of use of zinc and boron; soil application and foliar spray were made along with improved practices against farmer practices. The highest plant height, average fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and fruit yield of brinjal was recorded with the soil application of zinc and boron which was superior over the foliar spray and farmer’s practices. The gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio recorded was also maximum in improved practices consisting soil application of zinc and boron as compared farmer’s practices.
