3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Growth Characters
The height of rice plant as affected by different
methods of Zn application are shown in Fig. 1. It
is observed from the figure that methods of Zn
application significantly affected the plant height.
Maximum plant height of 100 cm was recorded
from the treatment with 15 kg Zn ha-1 as soil
application which differs significantly from the
other treatments. Minimum plant height was
recorded with T1. The tillers (numbers/m2) of rice
plant as affected by different methods of Zn
application are shown in Fig. 2. The application
of different methods of Zn application
significantly increased the tillers number over
control.
