Abstract

Nutritious management in fine rice is primarily concomitant with the application of nitrogen and zinc fertilizers, which is challenging to amend under field conditions due to variations in soil fertility and environmental conditions. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out at Chakkanwali reclamation Research Station district Gujranwala to explore the role of nitrogen and zinc on the growth and yield of fine rice during kharif 2016. This study was laid out in a randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement having three repeats. Experimental treatments comprised of 2% foliar spray of nitrogen and zinc at tillering, booting, and flowering stage alone and in combinations. Results indicated that exogenous application of 2% nitrogen and zinc at flowering stage significantly improved all the yield contributing parameters which ultimately enhanced the final paddy yield.
