Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out at the Central Research Farm, SHUATS, Allahabad during
Kharif 2018. The experiment was consisting of two methods of zinc application soil (25kg ha
-1) and foliar (0.25%) and different sources of phosphorous namely DAP, SSP and PROM (Phosphorus Rich Organic Manure) (P- 16.5%) laid out in Randomized block design with ten treatment combinations and the number of replications was three. Maximum Kernel yield was recorded in Treatment T7 (DAP + Zinc 25 kgha
-1 application + Zinc 0.25% Foliar application) and treatment T8 (SSP + Zinc 25 kgha
-1 application + Zinc 0.25% Foliar application) however, treatment T9 (SSP + Zinc 25 kgha
-1 application + Zinc 0.25% Foliar application) is statistically at par to the height value.
