Abstract:
A research trial was conducted during the kharif season at the Agricultural Research Farm of Lovely Professional University during 2020-2021. Rice varieties PR128 & PR129 were cultivated in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments and three replications. The treatments were, Control- V1 (T1); Control- V2 (T2), V1 + Primed seedlings with 1% Zinc solution (T3); V1 + Non primed seedlings + RDF (T4), V1 + Foliar zinc @ 0.2% at 20 DAT (T5); V1 + Nano urea @ 2% + Nano zinc @ 2% (T6), V2 + Primed seedlings with 1% Zinc solution (T7), V2 + Non primed seedlings + RDF (T8), V2 + Foliar zinc @ 0.2% at 20 DAT (T9), V2 + Nano urea @ 2% + Nano zinc @ 2% (T10). The present study defined the effect of different treatments on the parameters of rice crops. It has been revealed from the results that the treatment T10 where PR129 was cultivated with the application of nano urea + nano zinc found the highest rice yield.
