Abstract:
A Field trial was conducted to investigate the effect of zinc and iron on growth and yield of hybrid rice. Experimental soil was of red sandy loam soil. Trial Comprising of 12 treatments combination using split plot design with three replications at the wetland of College of Agriculture, V.C.
