Abstract

The experiment was conducted in CRF in Department of Agronomy during summer season of 2022 on Maize crop. The aim was to study the effect of soil application of zinc and foliar application of boron and growth and yield of maize. The Treatments consisted of 3 levels of Zinc (5,10 and 15 kg/ha) and Boron (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) as foliar spray and a control. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with Ten treatments each replicated thrice. Application of 15 kg Zinc with Boron 1.5% as foliar spray recorded highest Plant height (209.16 cm), No. of Leaves/plant (12.83), Plant dry weight (183.65 g/plant), No. of Cobs/plant (2.33), No. of Grains/Cob (523.93), No. of row/cob (14.74), No. of Grains/row (41.53), Test weight (27.5g), Grain yield (6.33 t/ha), Stover yield (14.30 t/ha) Harvest Index (30.7%).

8 of 9 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
