Abstract: Background: The aim of the work is to evaluate the influence of different doses of seaweed extract and zinc sulphate on the growth and development of the khirni plants. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during the year 2021-22 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of 16 treatments laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Result: Among different doses of seaweed and zinc, combined application of Seaweed 6 ml/l + zinc sulphate 600 mg/l showed significantly superior over all other treatments. From the experiment, it may be summarized that T15 - SWE (6 ml/L) + ZS (600 mg/L) was better in improving growth parameters vis-vis stress parameters in khirni.
