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-1) followed by treatment 150:80:40 NPK + Two Si spray @ 0.3% (63.46 q ha-1) and lowest in T1 control (30.12 q ha-1). Harvest index was recorded non-significant.
Highlights
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important field crops after wheat in the world providing staple food to the millions
Basmati rice is primarily grown in north-western India and Pakistan
Plant height was significantly influenced with the application of zinc and silicon with recommended dose of NPK
Summary
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important field crops after wheat in the world providing staple food to the millions. In India, zinc is considered as the fourth important yield limiting nutrient after nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively [6]. Foliar application of zinc and silicon were applied at 30 and 45 DAT as per the treatment.
