Role of Chelated Micronutrient and their Salts for Improving Crop Production of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment on evaluating micronutrients chelates on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop was conducted during Rabi season. The field trial was sown consequently for three years 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the Agricultural Research Station Farm, Sriganganagar (Rajasthan), laid out in Randomized Block Design, consisted 9 treatments with 4 replications it was observed that the best results were reported for grain yield, straw yield, thousand grain weight and ear length of wheat crop in treatment T2 Zn HEDP (17%) – 3 gm/liters of water, maximum grain yield (49.42 q/ha), straw yield (83.72 q/ha), thousand grain weight (41.56 gm.) and ear length (11.97 cm.) were found to be significant. A balanced fertilization program with macro and micronutrients in plant nutrition holds the key for improving the growth and food grain production of crop.
