The investigation was carried out in the pot experiment during 2021-2022 at the Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur, to study Zinc Fortification of vegetable pea through Zinc and ZSB Solubiliser. There were fourteen treatments viz. T1-Absolute control, T2-RDF (30 N, 60 P2O5, and 30 K2O kg ha-1), T3-(T2 + Soil application of 25 kg ZnSO4·7H2O ha-1), T4-(T2 + Seed treatment ZnSO4.7H2O @3g kg-1 of seed), T5-(T2 + Foliar application @ 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O, at flowering and pod formation stage), T6-(T3+T5), T7-(T4+ T5), T8-(T3+ T4+T5), T9-(T2+ Soil application of 2 L-1 Acre (liquid ZSB), T10-(T2+Seed treatment (Liquid ZSB) @10 ml kg-1 of seed), T11-(T2+Foliar application of 2 L-1 Acre (liquid ZSB) at flowering and pod formation stage), T12-(T9+T11), T13-(T10+T11), T14-(T9+T10+T11). The treatments were replicated three times in a completely randomized design (CRD). The vegetable pea (PSM -3) was grown in the rabi season. Results revealed that the treatment of T5-(T2 + Foliar application @ 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O, at flowering and pod formation stage), maintained the soil health in terms of pH, EC, organic carbon and available nutrients (N, P and K) and Zn in soil which were better than control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
