Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Bio fortification of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through foliar application of iron and zinc” was carried out under medium black clayey slightly alkaline soil in reaction with pH 8.1 and EC 0.50 ds/m during rabi 2019 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The experimental results revealed that significantly higher values of growth parameters viz., Number of total tillers/plant and yield attributes viz., Number of effective tillers/plant and 1000-seed weight along with higher seed yield and straw yield were recorded with increasing foliar spray of iron and zinc.
