Abstract

The present experiment is a part of a long-term experiment based on the effect of crop residue and residual starter zinc. This part of the investigation “Concentration of iron in grain and straw of rice in rice-wheat cropping system” indicated the synergistic effect of Zn on Fe concentration in grain and straw of rice. The interaction effects of crop residue and residual Zinc on Fe concentration in grain and straw were found non-significant.
