| Abstract: |
A soil survey was conducted to know the zinc status of soil in Tanahun district in the year 2067, where the farmers reported the low yield of rice. Then a field experiment in the zinc deficient soil of district was conducted during the year 2068 to study the role of zinc application on the yield of rice and improving the zinc content of the soil. The experiment was laid in RCBD with five treatments. The treatments were control, farmer method, foliar spray, soil application and soil cum foliar application of the zinc. The grain yield of the rice was significantly higher in the treated plots than in the control and the farmer methods. Among the treated plots the highest yield was recorded in the soil cum foliar application. The yield was higher in the foliar application than in the soil application of zinc. The zinc concentration in the soil was not significantly different after experiment but it was highest in the soil application and lower in the foliar application. The soil cum foliar application has lower concentration of soil zinc than the soil application. |
