Abstract
Field experiments were conducted during summer (kharif) and winter (rabi) seasons from 2014-2016 at the experimental farm of Hill Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Bajaura, Kullu to study the influence of zinc nutrition on its availability, uptake and crop yield of rainfed maize-pea sequence in Northwestern Himalaya. Different levels of zinc (Zn) priming (water soaking- without zinc, 1%, 2% and 3% ZnSO4), were applied to the seeds of maize and pea for three priming durations (4, 8 and 12 h). The outcomes were compared with the basal dose of recommended NPK + ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha−1 and farmers’ practice (40% N of recommended dose of fertilizer + unprimed seed- control). The availability of Zn content in soil was significantly improved with the increasing levels of priming and its durations. The maximum available Zn content in soil was recorded from the application of ZnSO4 and minimum with water soaking- without zinc. The Zn uptake by pea pods, maize grains and stover of both crops was found maximum in priming with 2% ZnSO4 at the priming duration of 12 h. The yield of green peas and pea stover were maximum with 1% ZnSO4 at the priming duration of 12 h, however, maize grain and stover yield were highest with a treatment combination of 2% ZnSO4 with 12 h duration of seed priming. The results revealed the positive effect of ZnSO4 seed priming on zinc availability its uptake and crop yield at the different extent in rainfed maize-pea sequence. The seed priming to maize -pea sequence can be applied in nutrients deficient areas to improve crop yield and avoid severe health complications from Zn malnutrition.
