Abstract

During Kharif 2022, an experiment was conducted at Student’s Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab by using a split plot design with three replications of each of the 16 treatments. In comparison to control, main plots with seed inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and soil application of ZnSO4 @ 16.25 kg ha-1 (S3) showed significantly greater yield and quality parameters. In case of sub plot treatments, similar results were seen with foliar spray of ZnSO4 at 45 + 75 DAS (F3).
