e0“enhanced the seed nutritional status by enhancing seed Zn density, seed carbohydrate (sugar and starch content) and storage proteins (albumins, globulins, glutenins, and prolamines).”
t0“Foliar application of Zn at flowering stage improves plant's performance, yield and yield attributes of black gram.”
