EFFECT OF MICRONUTRIENT CHELATES ON THE YIELD AND DRYMATTER PRODUCTION OF GROUNDNUT AND PADDY

Abstract

Field experiments conducted to study the effect of micronutrient chelates on the yield and drymatter production of groundnut and paddy in Typic Haplustalfs and Typic Ustochrepts soils respectively revealed that the application of ZnSO4 @ 25.0 kg/ha recorded the highest drymatter yield at initial stages for both the crops, while at later stages, foliar spray of CMM @ 0.5% twice at 30th and 40th DAS registered the highest pod yield in groundnut, whereas in paddy, foliar spray of 0.5% Zn chelate recorded the highest yield.
