Abstract:

The field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2019 at Central Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) with the objective to study the effect of Zinc, Iron and their methods of application on growth and yield of Pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) under Randomised block design comprising of 10 treatments of which soil application of zinc (25 kg/ha) and iron (10 kg/ha) at basal and foliar application of 0.5% of Zinc and iron at 35 and 55 days after sowing which are replicated thrice. The experimental results revealed maximum plant height (156.31 cm), dry weight (49.23g), grain yield (2327.37 kg/ha), stover yield (4584.86 kg/ha) and test weight (7.63 g) was obtained by the application of T9 (0.5% ZnSO4 and FeSO4 foliar spray at 35 and 55 DAS).
