Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2022-23 at Chamelti Agriculture Farm, Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences, Solan (H.P).Based on the experimental findings, it can be concluded that application of 100% RDF + 20 kg ha -1 ZnSO 4 resulted in the highest growth parameters (plant height, number of tillers, dry matter accumulation and crop growth rate), yield attributes (number of effective tillers, number of grains per spike, spike length and test weight), and yield (grain yield, straw yield, biological yield and harvest index).Furthermore, it was increased gross returns, net returns and benefit-cost (B:C) ratio.Therefore, treatments are getting 100% RDF +10 kg ha -1 soil and 0.5% foliar application (ZnSO 4 ) (T 10 ) and 100% RDNP + 20 kg ha -1 ZnSO 4 (T 7 ) performed on par with T 6 .While, the lowest growth, yield and economic parameters were recorded under Control (T 1 ).
