Response of nano N, Zn and Cu application on growth and yield of scented rice

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted at Barrister Thakur Chhedilal College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bilaspur, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during Kharif season 2020-21. Entitled with “ Response of Nano N, Zn and Cu application on growth and yield of scented rice” including nano fertilizer nutrients with recommended dose of fertilizer 60:40:30 NPK kg ha-1. The experiment was presented in Randomized Block Design with three replication . The treatments was consisted of eigth treatments viz., Result revealed that treatment T8 (100 % PK + 50% N + 2 spray of nano N + Cu + Zn @ 4 + 2 + 2 ml liter-1 of water at 25 and 50 DAP), resulted the highest plant height, number of effective tillers at harvest , number of tillers per meter length at harvest, grain yield (32.83 qha-1), straw yield (66.51 q ha-1). Which was significantly superior over other treatments but was at par with T6 (100% PK + 50% N + 2 spray of nano N + Zn @ 4 + 2 ml liter-1 of water at 25 and 50 DAP ) with (28.91 qha-1) grain yield closely followed by the treatment T7, T5,T3.
