Influence of Foliar Application of Zinc on Growth and Yield of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Varieties

A field investigation was conducted in Kharif (2022), at a Crop Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P). To study the “ Influence foliar application zinc on growth yield pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) varieties.” An experiment laid out Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated thrice. The consist three different varieties (Kaveri super boss, Nutra pearl, Nandi-75) Zinc 25 DAS 50 respectively. experimental results revealed that significantly higher values parameters viz., plant height (191. 87 cm), dry weight accumulation (58.75 g/plant), CGR (10.55 g/m2/day) attributes ear head length (19.50 grains/ear (1203.60), test (10.02 g), grain (1.37 t/ha), straw (1.70 t/ha) were recorded maximum treatment Super Boss + ZnSO4 0.5% (at DAS) T3. These influenced by increasing spray ZnSO4.
