Response of zinc and sulphur on growth and yield of rice article type: Original research article

Abstract

The Experiment was conduct in Crop Research Farm in department of agronomy during kharif season 2023-2024. The treatment consisted of three level of Zinc (25 kg/ha, 0.5% and 12.5 + 0.25%) Sulphur (20, 30 and 40 kg/ha) and control. The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatment and replicated thrice. Application of Zinc (12.5 kg/ha + 0.25%) and Sulphur (40 kg/ha) recorded Highest plant height, plant dry weight and higher yield attributes namely more No. of panicles/hill, no. of grains/panicle, grain yield and straw yield. Maximum B:C ratio was also recorded in same treatment, treatment No. 9 [Zinc: 12.5 kg/ha + 0.25% (Soil + Foliar Application) + Sulphur: 40 kg/ha] in Rice crop.
