Veer Singh, Singh Virendra, Singh Satybhan, Richa Khanna
Abstract
Grain yield and harvest index also influenced significantly with the application of zinc and silicon and maximum grain yield was recorded with the application of 150:80:40 NPK + two Zn spray 0.5% (65.88 q ha<sup>-1</sup>) followed by treatment 150:80:40 NPK + Two Si spray @ 0.3% (63.46 q ha<sup>-1</sup>) and lowest in T<sub>1</sub> control (30.12 q ha<sup>-1</sup>). Harvest index was recorded non-significant.
