EFFECT OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF IRON AND ZINC ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF FINGER MILLET (ELEUSINE CORACANA L)SAI DIVYA. B, RAJESH SINGH AND WASIM KHANAbstract A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2020 at CRF (Crop research Farm), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (UP.). The soil of the experimental field is sandy loam in texture, low in organic carbon and medium available nitrogen, phosphorus and low in potassium. The treatments consisted Zinc (through foliar application) viz., 0.2% ZnSO4, 0.4% ZnSO4 and 0.6% ZnSo4 and (Iron through foliar application) are given at 20,40,60 Days interval viz., Control, 0.2% FeSO4 and 0.5% FeSO4 whose effect is observed A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2020 at CRF (Crop Research in finger millet (MR-1). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice the treatment with application of 0.6% ZnSO4+0.5% FeSO4 recorded significantly higher plant height (82.9cm), number of tillers/plant (7.87), plant dry weight (22.1g), effective tillers/plant (6.68), grain yield (3.93t/ha) and stover yield (6.03 t/ha) also recorded highest in the treatment 0.6% ZnSO4+ 0.5% FeSO4 |
