Agronomy Department, Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.), India. to research the effects of zinc treatment on rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and yield. The medications include the verities MTU-7029, BPT -5204, and RNR15048, as well as zinc concentrations of 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4%. The pH of the soil in the experimental plot was 7.8, the texture was sandy loamy, and the amount of organic carbon was low (0.35%). The larger plant height (117.68 cm), greater number of tillers per hill (13.64), Application of RNR-15048 + ZnSo4 - 0.4% significantly increased plant dry weight (55.47 g/plant), number of panicles/hill (10.01), number of grains/panicle (141.37), 1000 seed weight (22.27 gm), grain yield (6.43 t/ha), and stove yield (12.11 t/ha). Higher B:C ratio (2.37) and higher gross return (INR 1,52,860/ha), net return (INR 1,07,531/ha), and net return (INR 1,07,531/ha) were also noted in treatment-9 (RNR-15048 + ZnSo4 - 0.4%).
During the summer season of 2022, a field experimental trail on groundnut was performed at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to evaluate the impact of micronutrients on the growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) varieties. The experimental plot's soil was sandy loam in texture, virtually neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.7), low in organic carbon (0.44%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (27.00 kg/ha), and available K (291.20 kg/ha). The experiment was designed in the Randomized Block Design (RBD) method, with nine treatments repeated three times. According to this trial, the treatments are zinc (0.5%), boron (0.2%), zinc+ boron (0.5%+0.2%) as foliar spray, and varieties. (Kadiri 6, Kadiri 9, Kadiri Amaravati). The treatment combinations are, T1-0.5% Zinc (foliar) + Kadiri 6, T2- 0.5% Zinc (foliar) + Kadiri 9, T3- 0.5% Zinc (foliar) + Kadiri Amaravati, T4- 0.2% Boron (foliar) + Kadiri 6, T5- 0.2% Boron (foliar) + Kadiri 9, T6- 0.2% Boron (foliar) + Kadiri Amaravati, T7- (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn+ B (foliar) + Kadiri 6, T8- (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn+ B (foliar) + Kadiri 9, T9- (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn+ B (foliar) + Kadiri Amaravati. (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn + B (foliar) application with variety Kadiri 6 resulted in greater Plant height (26.60cm), Nodules/plant (49.14), and Plant dry weight (6.56 g/plant). Maximum number of pods per plant (27.87), kernels per pod (2.66), seed index (40.13 g), seed yield (2.48 t/ha), haulm yield (5.67 t/ha), and harvest index (30.44%). Thus, using (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn + B (foliar) in conjunction with the variety Kadiri 6 could be a promising choice for increasing groundnut yield.
This field experiment was carried out during Zaid season 2022 at experimental field of Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology& Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH7.3), low in organic carbon (0.48%), available nitrogen (230 kg/ha), available phosphorus (13.60 kg/ha) and available potassium (215.4 kg/ha).. Ten treatments, each replicated three times, were used in the one-year experiment, which was set up using a randomised block design. The results of the study showed that the treatment B3 (100 ppm) + Si3 (700 ppm) significantly increased plant height (193.66 cm), the number of leaves per plant (12.83), the dry weight of the plant (93.61 g/plant), and yield attributes such as the number of cobs per plant (3.4), the length of the cob (20.94 cm), the number of rows per cob (15.6), and the number of grains per cob (534.2). The yield parameters of Seed index (30.7), Grain yield (6.98 t/ha), and Straw yield (14.73 t/ha) were considerably greater with the same treatment B3 (100 ppm) + Si3 (700 ppm).
At the Department of Agronomy's Crop Research Farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj, a field experiment was carried out in the month of Zaid 2022. (U.P). The soil in the experimental plot had a sandy loam texture, a pH of 7.1 that was almost neutral, a low level of organic carbon (0.36%), and low availability of the nutrients N, P, K (171.48 kg/ha, 15.2 kg/ha, and 232.5 kg/ha, respectively). Ten treatments, each replicated three times, were used in the experiment, which was set up using a randomised block design over the course of a year. The treatments which are T1: Sugar-75 + 0.1 % boron foliar application, T2: Sugar-75 + 0.2 % boron foliar application, T3: Sugar-75 + 0.3 % boron foliar application, T4: Madhuri + 0.1 % boron foliar application, T5: Madhuri + 0.2 % boron foliar application, T6: Madhuri + 0.3 % boron foliar application, T7: Misthi + 0.1 % boron foliar application, T8: Misthi + 0.2 % boron foliar application, T9: Misthi + 0.3 % boron foliar application, T10: Control - N:P:K-120:60:40(kg/ha) are used. The results showed that treatment T9-Misthi + 0.3% boron foliar application was recorded significantly higher growth parameters like Plant height (175.5 cm), Plant dry weight (141.6 g/plant) at 80 DAS and highest Crop growth rate (22.1 g/m2/day) at 60-80 DAS. However, yield attributes and yield parameters like No. of Cobs/plant (1.81), No. of Grains/Cob (617.7), No. of Rows/cob (14.37), Seed index (68.4 g), cob length (18.5 cm), Grain yield (9.5 t/ha), Stover yield (15.4 t/ha) were recorded with the treatment T9-Misthi+ 0.3 % boron foliar application.
