Tillering capacity is one of the most important
rice components which are responsible for yield
production. Maximum tillers numbers/m2 of 430
were recorded for T4 followed by T3; while the
minimum tillers numbers was recorded in T1.
The increased of tillers number by soil application
of Zn may be attributed due to increase of
nutrients availability in soil compared with other
treatments. Similar results were reported [31,32].
