3.4 Effect of Different Methods of Zn
Application on Nutrients Content
Zinc content in grains and straw of rice as
affected by different methods of Zn application
are presented in Table 4. Highest Zn content
of 31.1 mg kg-1 was recorded in T3 followed by
T4 and T2. The lowest Zn content in grain
and straw was recorded in T1. The treatment
differences were significant at 5% level.
Although foliar application is effective in
increasing grains Zn content [39-41], time of
foliar Zn application is an important factor in this
regard [42].
